Temporarily moved information source notes & general notes for potential print purposes: website Via website: Updated address/main number/facility name, added avails, needs & # of workers added region/parish The Phoenix of New Orleans began after Hurricane Katrina, born from the damage and neglect of an obscure, historically poor downtown neighborhood called TulaneGravier. Before the storm, this neighborhood suffered from the shadow of Downtown, being cast out as a spill-way for commuters between Metairie and downtown. Warehouses along Poydras were end-points for unwanted government goods, abandoned cars and most anything unsightly or forgotten. Drugs were rampent throughout the neighborhood and the crime rate was at the top. Businesses along Tulane Ave were sparse and run-down, with some abandoned buildings looming over the neighborhood. There is great potential in this area, including historic breweries, medical and biomedical centers, auto centers, digital media centers, and the Galvez Street Promenade but at the current pace, we are far from such a reality. After the storm, the Phoenix of New Orleans was set-up to be both a neighborhood association and a self-determined sustainable development organization that would plow ahead and rebuild the area and help meet the needs of its neighbors who have little support from FEMA and the city government. The money is the issue and residents/victims are stuck in limbo until something can be done to give confidence that this area will be rebuilt and that it's possible to return to their homes. The education, jobs, food supply, healthcare, environmental hazards and living conditions are all below the level of a basic standard of living, and though many places in the world are poor and neglected, this neighborhood is in the heart of one of the greatest cities in America and represents the cold truth that we cannot support ourselves as a country, and that every neighborhood like this one should be greatly improved throughout the United States to proove to the world that we as a nation are one community strong, with every neighborhood having lamposts, clean streets, solid education opportunities and a bustling economic diversity. The board of directors are lead by Paul Ikemire, a Tulane Medical Student, who moved into the neighborhood despite the crime and poor condition because of the close proximity to the Tulane Health Sciences Center and LSU Health Science Center. Gayle Ruth and Frank Coco are local neighbors and community activists who are helping lead the formation of the organization and to work with neighbors to build a solid association for rebuilding homes, lives and the communtiy at large. ==================================== LTel 2/5/08: Site is down. Main number is a fast busy. Trying to reach for FEMA Gulf Guide update. -> LTel 2/14/08: Per Rachel Mills w/PNOLA the fee is $75/week per volunteer. They have a washer/dryer, lunches on the job site. Volunteers have access to kitchen priveleges for breakfast & dinner. They have 4-5 long-term volunteers staying in the volunteer house at any one time generally. They no longer do mold remediation but can refer folks if they need it. Some house gutting is taking place but the resident has to pay for the dumpster. ========================================================== LTel 2/13/08: Left msg. for volunteer camp update main number.
