We develop affordable, sustainable housing that helps families achieve stability while rebuilding strong, connected communities.
Creating Jobs
We create local employment opportunities through construction, maintenance, and development that strengthen the local economy.

Rooted in the Hoffman Triangle
To truly understand the Hoffman Triangle, we partnered with leading researchers from the University of New Orleans to take a data-driven, neighborhood-first approach. Working alongside professors and graduate students in advanced geographic and urban studies, this comprehensive research provides a clear picture of the area’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities—equipping residents, nonprofits, and city leaders with the insight needed to better support and invest in this vital New Orleans community.
