What's In My Back Yard?

The Road Home's What's In My Back Yard? (WIMBY) Tools provide information about facilities and services available in areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This information is intended to serve as a resource for applicants as they decide how to use their Road Home funds. Users may view WIMBY Maps or create their own WIMBY Reports that shows the status of the following:

Road Home Applications and Closings
Adult Centers
After School Programs
Banks
Child Care Centers
Fire Houses
Gas
Grocery Stores
Hospitals

Libraries
Places of Worship
Post Offices
Power
Public Transportation
Recreational Centers
Schools
Sewage Service
Water

WIMBY offers a general overview of the condition of an area. While The Road Home strives to keep WIMBY as up-to-date as possible, the recovery status of communities is constantly changing. If you know of a facility that has not been included or has been incorrectly reported as being closed, please let us know.
