A UNITY Public Policy Action Agenda, October 21, 2005
UNITY is committed to ending homelessness and bringing New Orleans home. Our mission is to:
· Provide services to those who are homeless – those families and individuals who were homeless prior to Katrina, as well as those who have lost their homes as a result of Katrina,
· Advocate for effective public policies to bring home and rebuild the lives of all low-income people in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish, and
· Work to prevent new homelessness as we rebuild our community.

UNITY’s Public Policy Action Agenda lays out the following:
1. Guarantee the Right of Return
2. Develop an Adequate Supply of Affordable and Permanent Supportive Housing
3. Develop a Responsive and Effective Social Infrastructure
4. Assure Local Workers Are Given Well-Paid Jobs to Rebuild Our Community
5. Insist on Public Accountability, Democracy, and Inclusion of Poor People and Other Vulnerable Populations in Decision Making
6. Create a Fund to Meet the Needs of Low-Income Katrina Victims and Non-Profit Social Services Organizations
7. Assure the Safety of All New Orleanians From Another Hurricane
8. Assist the Families and Friends of Those Who Are Missing or Who Lost their Lives.
