Louisiana Interfaiths Together
Louisiana Interfaiths Together (PICO LIFT) and its six local and regional federations and one hundred member churches have worked to bring justice and opportunity to Louisiana families since 1988.
Since Katrina and Rita struck Louisiana, PICO LIFT has helped lead a statewide Rebuild Louisiana campaign focused on assuring that displaced families and residents of the state receive the jobs and economic opportunities that come from rebuiling, that families have a right and ability to return to their homes and communities, that families who lost their homes and possessions are treated fairly and made whole by their insurers and that New Orleans and other devastated communities are rebuilt around the needs and interests of all citizens.
Almost every one of the 100 churches involved in PICO LIFT has either been displaced or is housing or sheltering families. Staff, clergy and lay leaders from PICO LIFT have visited thousands of displaced families to help them reconnect with one another and have a voice in how their communities are rebuilt.
