Non-Profit - New Orleans, LA, US
The Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA) is one of the oldest neighborhood associations in New Orleans. Established in 1930 as the Broadmoor Civic Improvement Association to address the needs of the developing Broadmoor neighborhood, it was incorporated in 1970 as the Broadmoor Improvement Association, Inc. to stop "blockbusting" in Broadmoor, a well-established, multi-racial/multi-ethnic community already living in harmony. Before Hurricane Katrina, the Broadmoor Improvement Association had worked continuously to improve the neighborhood. We reduced crime; we had secured the Rosa Keller Library; we had joined with Rebuild New Orleans to repair homes of our low-income elderly or handicapped; we had re-treed our neutral grounds and the MLK park area – all in constant effort to improve Broadmoor and maintain a high quality of life for it's residents. Since Katrina, the Broadmoor Improvement Association has become known as a "grassroots powerhouse". Broadmoor has built partnerships and was recognized at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative. The BIA is here to address the needs of the residents by engaging the community and building consensus amoung residents as to their vision for a revitalized neighborhood that is "Better than Before". Broadmoor has become a model for for citizen-led recovery efforts. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the time for action is now. It is imperative that we unite as one to rebuild a stronger Broadmoor; not one of us can do it alone. Being faced with the challenges of crafting a vision for the future of our community, BIA needs your presence and voices every step of the way. So lets pull together, join the Broadmoor Improvement Association and put a better Broadmoor in the center of the map of New Orleans. The BIA exists for every resident of Broadmoor. Our neighborhood has a sense of awareness, unity, and pride.
