The RALLY Foundation

This is the Final Report on the summer 2006 surveys of the Treme, Central City, Bywater and Algiers neighborhoods conducted by RALLY for the Department of Justice's Weed and Seed program.

This is the final report on Rally's summer 2006 survey of Central City New Orleans.  It includes a summer '06 population estimate for Central City, a household-based assessment of neighborhood needs and priorities and  a set of descriptive statistical and map annexes.

Increasing violence and slow development during the repopulation of Central City following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita has directed public focus towards this historical neighborhood. Recovery Action Learning Laboratory (RALLY) was solicited to expand its pilot needs assessment. The pilot needs assessment was initiated for the Department of Justice’s Weed and Seed Project in May and June of 2006. The assessment was extended on behalf of Baptist Community Ministries (BCM) in August of 2006, for the purpose of increasing the sample size of the household survey and developing a more sophisticated understanding of the area known as the Hoffman Triangle.
