Allio Consulting

Allio Consulting recently visited post-Katrina New Orleans and had the opportunity to see both the devastation that remains and the rebuilding that is occurring.  It was a moving experience: it seems that everyone in New Orleans has a story of tragic loss.  The impact of the flooding on residents has been compounded by the lack of effective government response and adequate support to get residents back on their feet.  Yet in the face of this, many residents are rebuilding and there are a number of unique projects under way in areas that were flooded.  While in New Orleans, Allio Consulting had the opportunity to provide technical assistance to an inspiring group of East New Orleans neighbors.  Allio Consulting also joined over 1,000 other policy makers, practitioners, and researchers at the PolicyLink conference to explore issues of equity and strategies for community change.
