| Publisher Description: Public housing in New Orleans has been subject to federal control for several years before Hurricane Katrina. These housing projects in New Orleans have also been home to important cultural contributions, such as the birth of Bounce music. In 1936, the Louisiana Legislature passed the Housing Authority Act, allowing for the creation of the Housing Authority of New Orleans and paving the way for the city to participate in the national low-rent housing program. Some of the first developments broke ground between 1938-1940 over slums and old stores in the Tremé and Uptown area. The Lafitte, Magnolia, Calliope, and St Bernard known as the big four all opened in 1941 to black families. St Thomas and the Iberville developments opened for whites in 1942. |
