FEMA's largest Trailer Park (Photo PPH)

After Katrina many survivors were moved into large FEMA trailer parks. Two years later, they remain warehoused in these trailer parks. Renaissance Village, 100 miles from New Orleans is one such trailer park, which is the largest FEMA trailer park in the country. With 500 trailers, many residents have been stuck there for close to two years. This piece was produced by youth who live in the trailer park — Eric Walker, Rasheka London and Keyana London, with help from youth from the United Houma Nation, Dana Solet and Cacinda Voisin.

With the release of this decade’s census, it’s important to not only look at those fascinating statistics but all the hard work, the sleeverolling, and the boogeying performed by community organizers to get New Yorkers from historically excluded communities to fill out their census forms. A collaborative journalism project by People’s Production House, ‘The Count‘ investigates the tactics and tools developed by grassroots organizations determined to—this time—ensure that immigrants, working families, and youth get included in THE COUNT.
