Study: Katrina Recovery Is a Mixed Bag

The city is showing signs of rebirth nearly a year after Hurricane Katrina, but a lack of health care and other services and a dearth of affordable housing could stymie a full recovery, according to a study released Wednesday.

The Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington, D.C., said positives include signs of a turnaround in the housing market and increased tourism and business travel.

"I think there are really some signs of promise, but many trends remain troubling," said Amy Liu, deputy director of Brookings' Metropolitan Policy Program.
