Public Housing projects in New Orleans have been vacant and locked since September. Many apartments were not damaged. Many do have mold that could be cleaned up. Residents of 10,000 units have been barred from their apartments with all their belongings in them. Residents and volunteers built a tent city in front of the largest project, St. Bernard Development in Gentilly. Pamela Mahogany , a St. Bernard resident was asked by a reporter if they wouldn't be hot in the tents. She replied that after spending 3 days in the Superdome, the heat on the city streets would not be hard to deal with. June 2006
