Project Type: Implementation of Resilience and Adaptation Actions (Track Two)
Funding Amount: $56,573,066
Congressional District(s): LA-01, LA-03, LA-06
Summary:
In southern Louisiana, the United Houma Nation is pursuing a comprehensive approach to addressing coastal climate change through a multiphase project that views resilience through a cultural, environmental, economic, and emergency-response lens.
Phases one and two involve upgrading community resilience hubs across six parishes, all of which serve critical functions, including serving as evacuation and distribution sites.
Phase three focuses on strengthening and expanding the Tribe's communications infrastructure, allowing for more effective communication before, during, and after disasters.
In the final phase, the Tribe will proactively strategize with its citizens about 1) developing a community-led migration strategy and 2) strengthening land stewardship by implementing a community land trust.
