HANO background

We've had Google queries about the pre-Katrina travails of the New Orleans Housing Authority and about its current status. In response to which, here's the Louisiana section of the HUD Office of Inspector General audit archive. It has a number of HANO items, especially from the late '90s. And here's the relevant GAO search. As for current status, HANO's Web site, which appears to have been hosted at Tulane, still seems to be down as of this writing. As we've noted previously, CLPHA and PHADA have been relaying a few messages from HANO on their own sites. HUD has been announcing for some time that its New Orleans field office operations have been moved to Fort Worth. Hope this helps.
