As Congress considers emergency disaster relief legislation in the lame-duck session, Preservation Action is urging lawmakers to include funding for the repair and rehabilitation of significant historic properties that were damaged across the southeast from Hurricanes Milton and Helene. Our recent letter, along with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers, National Trust for Historic Preservation, American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA), and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, requests supplemental disaster relief grants from the #historicpreservationfund and adjustments to the #HistoricTaxCredit to help rebuild in the affected areas.

In addition to being a longtime Board member of Preservation Action, Patty was a founding member of the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans and served for nearly four decades as the Executive Director, helping to make the organization one of the country's premier historic preservation organizations. Patty's impassioned and tireless advocacy helped preserve the places that make New Orleans special and advanced the historic preservation movement around the country. Congratulations Patty!
