Guste Homes

In 1988 the residents of Guste Homes in New Orleans took the first steps towards accountability, responsibility and self control, by going through years of training in HUD management. The residents realized that in order to have an significant impact in their community, their fate and future could only be protected if they had a say in its direction. From 1988 to 1998 the residents of Guste Homes trained under a HUD initiative that prepared the resident council to manage their own development. After forming the "Resident Management Corporation", in 1998 two years later the GHRMC signed a dual management contract with the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO), and a year later the GHRMC became the full time manager of the Guste Homes Housing complex. The Guste Homes Resident Management Corporation is committed to providing safe and affordable housing to low-income citizens in New Orleans. We are active in providing families with a variety of educational, supportive and quality of life services. Through our local, regional and national partnerships, the Guste Homes RMC developed a mission "Creating Effective Partnerships", which allowed us to offer the services outlined on our website.
