Unity of N.O. to offer 5,000 homes for disabled

CityBusiness staff report
March 28, 2006 7:37 AM

NEW ORLEANS — Unity of Greater New Orleans, a group of 60 agencies providing housing and services, will announce a plan at noon Friday to prevent homelessness in New Orleans through development of 5,000 units of permanent supportive housing for people with disabilities. The Unity meeting will be held at the Holy Angels Conference Center, 3500 St. Claude Ave.
Rosanne Haggerty, a national expert on supportive housing, will present the
keynote address, "Preventing and Ending Homelessness in New Orleans."

Haggerty will discuss research demonstrating that affordable rental apartments linked with services is a cost-effective strategy successful in ending homelessness. Haggerty is founder and president of Common Ground, a New York-based nonprofit and the largest U.S. developer of supportive housing. Unity is working with the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency, the Metropolitan Human Services District, the Jefferson Parish Human Services Authority, and other local, state and national groups to implement this model in the New Orleans area.

Unity will dedicate its meeting to the memory of Charles Johnson, a formerly
homeless person who served as an outreach worker for Volunteers of America and was an integral part of Unity's street outreach team. Johnson died in Hurricane Katrina.

Officials Discuss Future Of New Orleans In Space Exploration
04-19-2006 7:08 AM

(New Orleans, LA) -- NASA and Louisiana economic development officials are gathering in New Orleans today. They are looking to highlight the value to NASA, Louisiana, and the nation, of the NASA Michoud complex in New Orleans. It's where contractors manufacture, assemble, and process the space shuttle's external tank. Officials are also using the event to provide an update progress of NASA's Constellation Systems Launch Vehicles Program. It is slated in the coming decade to build and fly vehicles that will lift future generations of explorers to the moon, Mars and beyond. Elements of the new launch systems will be manufactured and processed at the New Orleans facility.

$30M New Orleans BioInnovation Center

Plans remain in place to build a $30-million, 130,000-square-foot BioInnovation Center at 1441 Canal St. although Hurricane Katrina delayed construction until April.

The projected completion date of the new building is mid-to-late 2007.

The project will be financed by the state through the Louisiana Office for Economic Development. In 2002, the Louisiana Legislature appropriated funds to start three biotech laboratories and business incubators around the state — in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport.

The New Orleans BioInnovation Center, designed by Spartanburg, S.C.-based industrial engineering and construction firm Lockwood Greene, will house a wet lab incubator and a Louisiana Gene Therapy Consortium in a 75,000-square-foot Good Manufacturing Practices Laboratory.

The Gene Therapy Consortium will manufacture adult stem cell lines for experiments while the GMP lab, a laboratory fit to produce materials for human use, will perform phase 1 and 2 testing on clinical trial products.
It will be the only facility dedicated specifically to gene therapy," in the South.

Miscenich said the center is expected to create 200 jobs, mainly in research and lab tech positions.
