The Committee for Plaquemines Recovery facilitates
long term recovery efforts in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana,
by coordinating unmet needs assistance for individuals.
The Committee for Plaquemines Recovery (CPR) began as Unmet
Needs Committee for Plaquemines Parish (UNCPP) in November 2005. In
May 2006 UNCPP established the name Committee for Plaquemines
Recovery (CPR) – Bringing the Parish Back to Life. Organizational
Procedures were approved in December, 2005, and amended in March,
and again in May, 2006. In February, 2006, the CPR approved
a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Way for the Greater
New Orleans Area to serve as fiscal agent.
To date, more than 90 applicants have been assisted through CPR
and major funders.
Over $2,000,000, not including in-kind donations, has been given
towards rebuilding in Plaquemines.
The road to recovery in Plaquemines Parish is well on its way;
however it will take many years before completion.
The Committee for Plaquemines Recovery is committed to the parish
and looks forward to a bright future in the community. It is
our task that the recovery, rebuilding, and rebirth of Plaquemines
Parish continue by sharing the community’s story.
CPR General Membership Meeting is the second
Tuesday of every month.
CPR Executive Committee Meeting is the fourth Monday of every month.
