What is the cap program?

 

The City of New Orleans and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA) are undertaking a network of initiatives to help study, educate, and implement green infrastructure projects citywide. This coordinated effort will culminate with the city’s first comprehensive Resilience District in the Gentilly neighborhood. In order to promote better green infrastructure improvements on individual residential properties, NORA will oversee the design and implementation of stormwater management interventions through the new Community Adaptation Program (CAP) in the Gentilly neighborhood.
