The American Red Cross, and United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA), alongside federal, state and local partners, will continue to support a Resiliency Center to provide services and care to the victims of the Bourbon Street Terrorist Attack. The center offers crisis assistance, including mental health services, potential financial and lodging assistance, and other resources.
The center will provide services from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. starting Thursday, January 9, at the New Orleans Family Justice Center at 701 Loyola Ave., Suite #201, New Orleans, LA. Translation assistance is available on site.
This center is for victims, family members and anyone present at the Bourbon Street attack, even if they were not physically injured. Anyone present during the attack can also retrieve personal effects or items left behind.
Expert Red Cross volunteers and staff and UWSELA's Resource Navigators will support the center alongside trusted, local community partners to provide continuing aid and guidance.
"United Way of Southeast Louisiana is proud to stand with the American Red Cross and the New Orleans Family Justice Center [NOFJC], local partners and community leaders in continuing the critical operations of the Family Assistance Center," said Michael Williamson, UWSELA president and CEO. "This space has been a vital resource for victims and survivors and their families, providing compassionate care and essential services during an unimaginably difficult time. We are grateful to the FBI for their immediate response and work to vet affected families and individuals to ensure aid reaches those who need it most. Together, we are ensuring that no one navigates this tragedy alone and that we're on a united path to recovery."
The NOFJC, with support from UWSELA and other funders, is providing essential aid to help impacted families with urgent needs, including transportation, temporary lodging, food, prescriptions and more.
"Our local, state, and federal partners have come together to ensure victims and their families have access to the things they need to begin the recovery process," said Mary Claire Landry, founder and executive director of the New Orleans Family Justice Center.
"We strongly encourage anyone who has not yet reached out for assistance to visit the center so we can connect them to essential resources and help them begin the journey of healing."
Families and individuals unable to visit the Resiliency Center in person may call 504.355.0846 for assistance.
