Lower 9th Ward NENA is part of the New Orleans Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP 2) Consortium. The New Orleans Consortium is a partnership between 11 experienced non-profits, the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA) and a green building consultant, Green Coast Enterprises. The New Orleans Consortium was awarded $29.7M to conduct comprehensive redevelopment through the rehabilitation and new construction of new homes throughout a variety of neighborhoods across the city.
Lower 9th Ward NENA's funds will be used to construct 35 new single family homes. Lower 9th Ward NENA will perform these activities in the Lower 9th Ward.
Our homes will meet the Enterprise Green Communities criteria as well as the Builder's Challenge criteria. Please check back as our program is progressing rapidly and the information on our website is constantly updated.
If you are interested in purchasing one of our properties or have other questions, please contact Cynthia Ketchens, Housing Counseling Director at 504-373-6483.
