New Orleans
The Housing Authority of New Orleans provides housing opportunities in safe, sustainable, pedestrian-oriented communities. The new mixed-income, mixed-use model adopted by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development offers modernized homes for low-income residents and market rate renters, and also offers home ownership opportunities at selected locations.
Affordable Housing
Much of HANO’s housing stock was destroyed in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina. After assessing the damage, HANO undertook a massive redevelopment program to replace and modernize its housing communities. With cost estimates exceeding $1 billion to merely renovate the 1940’s-era buildings, HUD authorized funding for the total demolition and recreation of public housing sites.
