| Description: | This paper examines the many factors that have served as barriers to rebuilding housing stock in New Orleans. The authors start out by identifying several important pre-Katrina problems, such as those posed by large numbers of abandoned, blighted and adjudicated tax properties and go on to outline a range of government barriers to rebuilding, from bureaucratic delays in processing requests for housing assistance to problems in verifying titles of home ownership. Racial disparities and the social determinants of displacement are also discussed. |
