## Caption

New Orleans just launched an Adjudicated Property Task Force to move more than 6,500 long‑stalled, tax‑delinquent properties back into commerce for housing and neighborhood revitalization.  That’s an important step toward reducing blight and expanding affordable housing, especially in historically underserved communities. But we also need a parallel track that protects generational wealth for families whose properties became adjudicated after Katrina because of displacement, succession issues, or heirs’ property barriers.  Instead of only clearing titles so third‑party investors can acquire these homes, the City could create a pilot program that waives or caps older delinquent charges, limits recoverable taxes to recent years, and provides legal support so heirs can get clear title in their own names. A policy like this would still return properties to the tax rolls, but it would prioritize current and displaced New Orleanians as first beneficiaries, not just outside investors.  If we are serious about equitable recovery, housing, and neighborhood stabilization, adjudicated property reform has to include pathways for original owners and their heirs to reclaim and keep their homes.  I’m asking the Mayor, City Council, and the new Task Force to design an heirs‑first adjudicated property program that waives or restructures past‑due charges for Katrina‑impacted families and keeps Black generational wealth in our communities. @helenamorenola @helenamorenohq @nolacitycouncil @cityofnola @councilmanhughes @freddiekingiii @lesliharris @aimee4districta @voteeugenegreen @jpmorrell @willard4nola There’s already a tool for part of this. Section 150-77 of the city code gives Katrina-displaced residents first preference on adjudicated property sales, but Moreno’s office hasn’t mentioned it describing this task force. The language covers the person who was displaced, not clearly their heirs, and 21 years later many of those original residents have died. Whether their kids or grandkids can even use that preference is a question the task force needs to answer.  #neworleans #lowerninthward
