The William J. Guste Homes public housing development is located in New Orleans’ Central City, between the central business district and the renowned historic Garden District.  Built in 1964, the original 21-acre site consisted of one 12-story high-rise building with 528 housing units for the elderly and six (6) low-rise buildings with 465 housing units for families (993 total units).   In 2003 HANO submitted, and HUD approved, a Conversion Plan to demolish all six (6) low-rise buildings and replace them with new housing.  HANO received a 2001 HOPE VI Demolition Grant for the demolition and relocation required to redevelop the Guste site.      

In 2002, the Guste High-Rise underwent comprehensive modernization that included upgrading and making code compliant building services such as elevators, security, and fire alarm systems; providing each unit with individual heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and providing service areas tailored to the elderly such as meeting and laundry facilities, a community center, and improved landscaping.
