<p>Under the #PutHousingFirst banner, Louisiana has crafted a three-part strategy to transform the affordable housing marketplace in New Orleans and Louisiana. This effort is grounded in combining the vision and capacity of three of the state’s leading affordable housing organizations: HousingNOLA, the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance (GNOHA), and HousingLOUISIANA—also known as the “Housing Triad.” Together, these organizations can build and strengthen the capacity of local and statewide practitioners to champion the right of every Louisianan to have a safe, healthy and affordable home, given additional financial and human capital. While each organization has its own discrete area of responsibility, their work intersects, the staff and leadership overlaps, and the funding is leveraged to accomplish their respective goals. </p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic not only created multiple health and economic challenges in the New Orleans region and the nation, but also exposed the cracks in the infrastructure that holds our economy together. Our most vulnerable people turn out to be the most essential workers for maintaining and uplifting our economy. Pre-existing conditions of financial and racial inequality have been revealed in the disparate impact of COVID-19 in communities of color as well as levels of unemployment and financial distress. While housing insecurity—the lack of stable housing or shelter due to challenges—was a severe problem before the pandemic—it is poised to devastate communities long after the COVID-19 pandemic is brought under control. <br><br></p>
