Providence Community Housing, an Isaiah Fund borrower and nonprofit housing developer in New Orleans, is profiled in last week's Clarion Herald, the Archdiocese of New Orleans' official paper. Check out the article to see great photos and descriptions of the exciting work that Providence is undertaking to rebuild affordable houusing in Treme.
The new and renovated housing will replace the former Lafitte public housing complex, and Providence is committed to providing housing for as many of the 865 former Lafitte residents who wish to return. Once complete, there will be 900 units of affordable housing. Included in that count are 34 historic homes (up from 31 - Andreanecia Morris at Providence just told me yesterday that they've taken on three additional homes) that Providence is transporting to Treme and renovating for first time homebuyers.
The excitement continues to grow. Several 100-year-old homes were moved recently from the demolition footprint of the Tulane/Gravier medical complex and placed on vacant property right next to the former Lafitte.
The Isaiah Fund's $400,000 loan is supporting the transport and rehab of these homes. |
