August 29, 2008 is the three year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

A CNA/NNOC Presentation

Three years after Hurricane Katrina, hope remains adrift for many families living in New Orleans, not to mention those 200,000 evacuees still scattered about the country unable to return home—or without a home to return to.  Empty foundations are all that remain where thousands of homes with severe structural damage have been demolished. 

Especially in the Lower 9th Ward, thousands more homes stand open and gutted as Gulf breezes pass though, keeping toxic mold at bay.  Humidity causes vegetation to grow over many abandoned homes with broken-out windows, wide-open doors, and nothing left inside but water-stained skeletal frames and haunting echoes of…“God please help us get out alive!”
