Study by civil engineer Marty Rowland shows that St. Bernard can be repaired. Results presented at Press Conference. Do not use the hurricane as an excuse to bulldoze the St. Bernard community!!!
We Demand:
Formal commitment from the HUD controlled Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) to reopen the St. Bernard development.
HANO needs to prepare to open St. Bernard by April 15, 2006. People have been away long enough!
No demolition of the Florida or Desire developments. Homes must be repaired and rebuilt. Do Not use hurricane as pretext to destroy public housing and other public services.
Reopen the St. Bernard health clinic and place health clinics in all the public housing developments. Accept offer of aid from Cuban government of doctors to staff them.
