Community Strategies and Resources

for Recovery 1

• Increasing organizational capacity and

autonomy.

 – Use of Committees, Block Captains, etc.

 – Doing own Data Collection.

 – New technologies, like Mapping, Data Bases.

 – Use of Volunteers.

 – Taking the initiative and not waiting for outsidehelp.

Community Strategies and Resources

for Recovery 2

• Greater strategic sophistication.

 – Creating “Critical Masses” or “Tipping Points”

 – Branding

 – Community planning

• E.g., Broadmoor, Vietnamese, Jews

Community Strategies and Resources

Community Strategies and Resources

for Recovery 4

• Emergence of new Umbrella Groups fromoutside the organizational eco-system theywork with

 –

Convening Groups. – Find areas of 

common concern on

which they can work

together.

 – Find synergies on

issues that would

otherwise produce

competition/conflict.

 – Learn from each

other. Barbara Lacen Keller teaching NPN’s Capacity College

Community Strategies and Resources

for Recovery 5

• New recovery resources from “Outside-inside”the community

 – Extra-Regional, National, & International

assistance from within the communities – Vietnamese Community

• Houston & West Bank Neighbors

 – Jewish Community

• National & Baton Rouge organizations

 – Cultural Community

• Assistance to Musicians from Musicians

Community Strategies and Resources

for Recovery 6

• New forms of Philanthropy

 – Traditional:

• Paternalism & Deference

 – Modern/Managerial:• Expertise & Efficiency

 – New:

Treats recipients as  partners, equals• Aims to build autonomy & self-sufficiency

Cautions and Implications for

Future Policy and Actions 1

• Lower and middle- status citizens must be

able to overcome elite resistance to their

participation.

 – Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs as Community Leaders

Cautions and Implications for

Future Policy and Actions 2

• Citizens must overcome governmentresistance to their participation, as well asavoid being “captured” by government.

 –

New “hardball” tactics:• Broadmoor’s Plan

• Vietnamese Landfill issue

 – Sharing new techniques:

• “Capacity College”

 – Avoiding Government “Capture:”

• Autonomy of Neighborhood Associations

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/weil-lsu-post-katrina-survey-101102 55/60

Cautions and Implications for

Future Policy and Actions 3

• Communities must find ways to sustain

participation beyond the euphoric period of 

recovery, into the more mundane tasks of 

further improvement that are often moretechnical rather than popular in nature.

 – Issue of Expertise & Leadership
