 Obama Calls on President to Protect Affordable Housing in New Orleans, 
Keep Promise to Gulf Coast Despite urgent housing needs, 
Administration intends to drastically reduce federal housing in New
Orleans
?
WASHINGON, D.C. ? U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today sent the
following 
letter to President Bush, calling on him to abandon his Administration's

intentions to demolish federally-assisted housing in New Orleans,
Louisiana until 
there is a comprehensive plan to meet the Gulf Coast region's extensive 
affordable housing needs.? Despite an estimated 12,000 people already
homeless in New 
Orleans, and thousands more struggling with costly and slow rebuilding
efforts 
since Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Housing and Urban Development

(HUD) is now planning to reduce the limited supply of affordable housing
even 
further by demolishing 4,500 units of public housing.? Over the past two
years, 
the Bush Administration has consistently failed Gulf Coast residents,
and should 
not further exacerbate this tragic housing crisis by destroying
affordable 
housing.?
?
The text of the letter is below:
?
Dear Mr. President:
?
I urge you to abandon all plans to demolish federally-assisted housing
in New 
Orleans, Louisiana until there is a comprehensive plan to meet the
region's 
extensive affordable housing needs.?
?
Two years ago, when you appeared in Jackson Square, you spoke of
America's 
"duty to confront this poverty with bold action." You explained:?
"Americans 
want the Gulf Coast not just to survive, but to thrive; not just to
cope, but to 
overcome.? We want evacuees to come home, for the best of reasons --
because 
they have a real chance at a better life in a place they love."
?
Unfortunately, there are an estimated 12,000 people already homeless in
New 
Orleans, and thousands more are struggling with costly and slow
rebuilding 
efforts and private rents that have risen 45% since the storm.? More
than 
two-thirds of the housing stock was destroyed by the hurricane, and much
of it has not 
yet been rebuilt.? Thousands of residents are still living in trailers
with 
dangerous levels of formaldehyde even though more than 800 days have
passed 
since Hurricane Katrina made landfall.
?
Despite this harsh reality, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development 
(HUD) is now planning to reduce the limited supply of affordable housing
even 
further by demolishing 4,500 units of public housing.? Notwithstanding
your 
wish for evacuees to come home to "thrive" and "overcome," New Orleans
does not 
have adequate affordable housing options even for the people who are
already 
there.????
?
It is critical for policy makers to answer the following questions
before any 
demolition takes place:?
?
 ???????? Is demolition, which was originally planned and approved
before 
hurricane Katrina, still      a sensible strategy in light of the
region's 
housing crisis??

???????? How many new units of public housing will be built or acquired
to 
replace the 4,500      scheduled for demolition?? If less than 4,500,
what is 
the plan to close the gap to get           back at least to pre-Katrina
levels?? 
If more than 4,500, what plans are in place to                ensure
adequate 
income diversity and economic integration??

???????? What plans are in place to meet the low-income housing needs
during 
the period           between demolition and the availability of new
housing??

???????? What supports are in place to assist residents during any
housing 
transition???
?
Almost a year ago, I visited New Orleans and posed similar questions to
HUD.? 
I have yet to receive an adequate response to that inquiry.
?
There is no question that most displaced residents want to come back to
their 
homes and apartments, but that is hardly possible if they return to a
city 
with fewer affordable housing options available than it had before.? I
support 
the conversion to mixed income neighborhoods and greater economic
integration, 
but such redevelopment plans must not be at the expense of adequate and 
improved housing options for the poor.? No public housing should be
demolished until 
HUD can point to an equivalent number of replacement units in the near 
vicinity.?
?
Over the past two years, the federal government has failed the people of
New 
Orleans and the Gulf Coast.? But there is still an opportunity to
demonstrate 
that they are not forgotten.? I urge you to reconsider the demolition of
these 
housing units until there is a comprehensive plan to meet the region's 
extensive affordable housing needs.? Thank you.?
?
Sincerely,
?
Barack Obama
