Thank you for your response and the very specific information, with which I hope we can move forward. Case management sounds like exactly the "humane"/whole person approach that I bemoaned the scarcity of in my article. And, I would think, even the very best organizations cannot take the role of government -- though they can work in partnership, as a FEMA financing of this initiative would suggest. I wanted to reiterate that I have the greatest respect for your work. Thank you and all the wonderful people with whom you work.

The Episcopal Diocese, along with many others, is trying mightily to take on the plight of the grandmother you mentioned. Our collaborative efforts are directed towards the many homeless and soon to be homeless of our city and of the diaspora. Our best mission with such folks is the Case Mangement System that we have undertaken through the collaborative known as Katrina Aid Today. Unfortuantely, funding for Case Management expires in two months. No Federal Tax dollars have gone to Case Management. The Funds that did come our way were from gifts of foreign governments! I have worked to get the Louisiana and Mississippi congressional delegations to introduce legislation to allow FEMA funds to be used to continue Case Management. The bill is awaiting action. The administration has given a contract to a Texas Company to develop a plan for Case Management! The facts are beyond irony. In December alone, the Episcopal Diocese through our Case Managers helped 350 families devise and work a plan towards returning home. We provide not only professional support and guidance but also resources, encouragement and hands on help. Case Mangement is a move towards independence and personal achievement. Our efforts demonstrate that people of good-will, people of faith and of a good heart can and do make a difference. With your help and the assistance of people from around the world, we give our best. Bishop Charles Jenkins Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana Rebecca,

I am excited to see AJC posting on poverty, housing and Gulf Coast rebuilding. JCPA is working on these issues through our national anti-poverty campaign and I would be interested to hear more about your work. Thank you Rebecca for this interesting post.

Minanel Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:00:43 +0000 http://ajcblog.org/2008/01/08/nola-on-my-mind/#comment-2661 It is painful to read your blog on the neglect of the Katrina victims. I have another story of neglect in preventing the problems that the victims immediately faced with no help forthcoming, when they were in dire danger. FEMA had pronouned interest in this project right after Katrina, but stated it had to come from the private sector. It involves a two - tiered garment, unisex, one size fits all, with the outer tier consisting of weather-proof material that is designed to be capable of turning into a tent, with the props in the hem, etc., and the inner tier having pockets of NASA-type food,water tubes, and personal needs equipment that would last for three days, if necessary. No official in the Red Cross, UN, and other international relief organizations has expressed interest in developing this concept, let alone private businesses. Since Katrina, there have been Lebanon, Java, San Diego, etc., all of which could have found these garments extremely needed, useful and valuable.
