Louisiana Appleseed's Access to Opportunity Program grew out of the need for "disaster law" expertise. Too often, the need for financial security through homeownership has become the fulcrum to economically surviving disasters. Following major hurricanes and flooding, Louisiana Appleseed and its volunteers enabled a quicker, easier, and less expensive way to clear title for homeowners, resulting in over $1 BM in economic benefits in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas alone. Homeownership was an anchor in disaster law, but access to economic opportunity is more expansive than homeownership. The program now proactively looks for methods by which low income residents and communities of color can secure wealth without the pressure of disaster recovery and homeownership. Through our inception in disaster law and our growth in homeownership preservation, Louisiana Appleseed's model for opportunity is an economy that works for everyone through equitable solution-building.
