Residents of Forest Park Apartments, as a result of a fightback to defend access to affordable housing in hurricane ravaged New Orleans, have secured a series of concessions from the management of the Algiers housing complex. These concessions include pushing the request that residents vacate the complex from October 14, as originally demanded, to October 31. Management has also agreed to sign a written agreement that guarantees displaced residents will be allowed to return to the complex, when renovation work is completed, with no increase in rent. This position by the management of Forest Park marks a retreat from their previous position not to enter into any negotiations with the Forest Park Tenants Association. Up to this point, the management of the complex refused to guarantee that residents would be allowed to return with rent fees unchanged.
