CPR Mission

The Committee for Plaquemines Recovery facilitates long term recovery efforts in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, by coordinating unmet needs assistance for individuals.

CPR History

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.
