Big changes are happening with health insurance and Medicaid, and many families in our community may feel uncertain about their healthcare coverage. But care is still available near you 🩺.

📌 Make sure Medicaid has your current address, phone number and email.
📌 Open and respond to ALL mail from Medicaid, even if it looks routine.
📌 If you do lose coverage, it could be a paperwork issue, not because you no longer qualify.

For many people across Southeast Louisiana, the word resilience can feel more like a burden than an aspiration. It has become shorthand for rebuilding after yet another hurricane, flood, or disaster, often without the resources or support needed to recover.

United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) understands that frustration.

“We're trying to change what resilience means for our communities," says Michael Williamson, UWSELA president and CEO. “For too long, resilience meant being left to pick up the pieces without adequate support after something happens.

For families already working hard to make ends meet, preparing for the next storm can feel like one more expense they simply cannot afford. That’s why the United Way of Southeast Louisiana Resiliency Center - founded by Rebuilding Together New Orleans exists: to help families build stability and prepare during blue skies, so when gray skies come, they have the tools, resources, and support to weather the unexpected without sacrificing the stability they’ve worked hard to build.

In celebration of National Preparedness Month and the center’s first anniversary, and with support from Verizon, we’re helping more than 400 local households take an important step toward preparedness with FREE disaster preparedness kits filled with essentials like a first aid kit, flashlight, emergency radio, waterproof document bag, poncho, whistle, and more.

We’re grateful to Verizon for investing in preparedness and helping families have more choices when the unexpected happens. Because resilience should mean having the tools, resources, and support to face what comes next, not facing it alone.

📍 2831 St. Claude Ave., New Orleans
🕘 Monday-Thursday | 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
