9th Ward Area actually is in both New Orleans and St Bernards Parish's

Contrary to what has been reported in part the 9th Ward was mostly a neighborhood of working class and elderly people and is where ACORN, Catholic Charities, Habitat for Humanity and many other Non-Profit volunteer based groups have been concentrating their effort on rebuilding. But also contrary to many reports there are still hundreds of homes in the area that have not BEEN TOUCHED (other than looters and scavangers) and were not cleaned out of debri, rotted sheetrock and other materials to the studs as was what the FEMA action was supposed to do in helping these people over one year before!
