Welcome

Welcome to MileHi New Orleans. This website is developed by our Katrina Research Team at Colorado State University as an effort to serve the needs and interests of Katrina evacuees living in Colorado. It is our hope that the resources we have organized for this site will make it easier for former residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast to connect to each other, to get useful information, and to express their views and tell their stories about life since Katrina.

We invite you to explore this site and look forward to getting any comments or questions you have that can help us make it better. Right now, you will find links to the most current news on Katrina, a listing of recently published academic studies, books, and reports under the information page, various resources (social and personal services, affordable housing, employment assistance, etc.), and work opportunities in the area. You can also explore information about Denver and New Orleans, read evacuee profiles and the most immediate needs facing the evacuee population, learn more about our research and research team, and ask us questions.
