SHREVEPORT, La. -- North Louisiana Interfaith, a non-profit coalition of religious congregations and community organizations, is asking Shreveport and Caddo local governments to jump-start a plan to build as many as 20 neighborhood 'resilience' hubs to help citizens during power outages. The Community Lighthouse projects will be equipped with solar panels, battery backup systems and trained disaster-response volunteers, according to Interfaith organizer Nathaniel Wills. Interfaith is asking the City of Shreveport for $400,000 and the Caddo Parish Commission $500,000.
