Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch
In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Institute launched
Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch
to document and investigate post-storm rebuilding in the South.
Reconstruction Watch has become a must-read resource,
featuring dozens of pioneering investigative reports, profiles of
innovative community leaders, and resources to promote a more democratic
and accountable rebuilding process.
The Mardi Gras Index
(Feb/March 2006), Watch’s 6-month report on post-hurricane New Orleans, has been featured on
CNN’s “Live With…” Kyra Phillips, Minnesota Public Radio, Air America Radio,
and other leading national media.
