GOHSEP is working to collect data for PDAs in the remaining parishes that have not received permanent work designations. If additional parishes are approved for permanent work, designation updates will be made. These categories, depending on which one applies, could potentially help Houses of Worship and Private Non-Profits with repairs to facilities damaged as a result of Hurricane Ida.
