Unity of Greater New Orleans

The plan at this point is for me to work with the Unity of Greater New Orleans program, which is a housing first program that serves those who are homeless in New Orleans and a nearby county. In some ways it is similar to the work I have done at Drueding Center Project Rainbow, the transitional housing facility for homeless women with children where I am currently working in Philadelphia. In other ways it will be a completely new experience. I am hoping to leave the week of the 16th of October or at the latest the following week.

To get ready to go I have made myself doctor and dentist appointments, and have started sorting through my endless piles of papers which seem to accumulate so quickly. Next weekend I will go to Rhode Island to spend time with my family, since it is likely to be quite a while before I get up there again.
