The Rockefeller Foundation Redevelopment Fellowship increases urban redevelopment capacity in New Orleans by helping redevelopment organizations to find high-quality new staff and train existing employees. Organizations playing key roles in the redevelopment system are accelerating their growth to better meet the city’s need. By investing at strategic point in the redevelopment system–land, public and private funding, and the capacity to use these resources–the program will help the system to produce more and better housing and community projects.
