We are entering the second week of mobile COVID-19 tests at the Christopher Homes properties in Orleans Parish. We are grateful to the partnership of the New Orleans Health Department and Core Response who are facilitating the testing. 



This effort brings testing to the most vulnerable population that tends to have limited access to main test sites around the city. 

We have seen large participation from our residents at our sites tested last week. Testing consists of residents swabbing their mouths in a comfortable and easy manner. Residents will receive their results directly from the Department of Health in 3-5 days. 

Each site will be notified of the number of positive cases and staff can take appropriate measures to prevent further spread within the community. 

Resident testing has also taken place at Place Dubourg in LaPlace in conjunction with St. John the Baptist Parish. Our team is working with the Louisiana Department of Health to secure testing kits for our properties in Jefferson, St. Bernard and St. Tammany.
