This is My Home tells the story of the struggle of displaced public housing residents in post-Katrina New Orleans. The film was made by the Advancement Project one year after the storm; as we approach the 2 year anniversary of Katrina, this film is still relevant. Register to host a House Party to educate your friends and family -- your help is needed to let people know that their struggle is not over.
