Press release from the City of New Orleans: January 30, 2021 Mayor LaToya Cantrell has issued the following statement on efforts this week to provide millions of dollars in rental assistance for New Orleans residents: "Thursday represented decisive action that could provide as much as $25 million in rental assistance for our residents when they need it the most. We appreciate Gov. Edwards' announcement that the City will receive $14 million in funds to administer from the U.S. Treasury's Emergency Rental Assistance program as part of the State's allotment of $308 million. We were also encouraged to see the ordinance approving $11.6 million from the same program working its way through the approval process and will continue to fight to keep our people in their homes with all of our available resources."
