President Obama Comes to New Orleans for 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina

President Barack Obama, accompanied by members of his Cabinet, will travel to New Orleans on Aug. 29 to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

The visit will include remarks by the president at Xavier University, where, days short of the first anniversary, then-U.S. Sen. Obama delivered the commencement address to the first class to graduate after the storm.

The announcement was welcome news for political leaders and others in the city and the region who are ever wary that the connection and commitment of a nation that was once so fixed on New Orleans and surrounding communities in the terrible wake of the disaster, is perhaps inevitably waning with each anniversary.

Neighborhood Housing Services of New Orleans Supports Extension of Homebuyer Tax Credit
Urges Homebuyers to Seek Homeownership Education Prior to Home Purchase

New Orleans, LA — Neighborhood Housing Services of New Orleans (NHS) applauds the decision by Congress and President Obama to renew the homebuyer tax credit and make it available to both first-time homebuyers and existing homeowners. In addition, NHS joins with other regional housing advocates to call for a clarification of Congressional intent to make eligible those homeowners who, due to the storms and the federal levee failures of 2005, have not lived continuously in their homes for five years.

“Whether a first-time homebuyer, someone moving back who’s ready to repurchase in the greater New Orleans region, or even someone looking to upgrade, NHS urges all homebuyers to seek homeownership education – ideally from NHS – but definitely from a HUD-approved nonprofit member of the Louisiana Homebuyer Education Collaborative, before purchasing a home,” encourages NHS CEO Lauren Anderson.

Participation in homeownership education helps homebuyers determine if they are ready for homeownership. Through homeownership education, potential homebuyers will:

* Assess their financial situation and determine if their financial house is in order; * Decide how much home they can afford, in terms of both cost and size; * Understand responsible home financing and which loan products are most appropriate for them; * Learn how to adequately maintain a home after purchase.

For over 30 years, NHS, a local NeighborWorks organization, has worked with homebuyers to help them achieve their dream of long-term homeownership. We have trained counselors on-staff ready to advise families one-on-one and help them make the right homeownership choices for them. To find out more about our homeownership education courses, please call (504) 899-5900 today.
