The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will host a series of virtual informational sessions to provide information to individuals or families in Louisiana impacted by Hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Zeta.

The information sessions will replace in-person Disaster Recovery Resource Fairs.

“The storms that impacted Louisiana in 2020 were devastating for everyone – HUD assisted households and all residents of Louisiana,” said HUD Deputy Regional Administrator, Leslie Bradley. “In addition to all the usual challenges that natural disasters cause, difficulties were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important that we provide these educational resources to all residents.”

These virtual information sessions are a collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies, along with other community partners.

Some of the participating entities are: HUD, FEMA/ Department of Homeland Security, USDA and the SBA.

Additionally, HUD says that various offices from the State of Louisiana including the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), Louisiana Office of Community Development, Louisiana Housing Corporation, Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services, Louisiana Office of Insurance and the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury.

Local non-profits and community partners such as Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, Acadiana Legal Services and Louisiana Fair Housing will also be participating.

HUD says it will present on topics such as Multifamily & Single- Family Programs and Services and Public Housing Programs and Processes.
