Last month, our 20at20 campaign highlighted NORA’s role in redeveloping and revitalizing our communities after Hurricane Katrina. And while Katrina-specific recovery initiatives are nearly all complete, our other programming and initiatives continue.
We all dream of a stronger New Orleans that’s prepared to meet any challenge, and NORA is here to develop strategies and programs that deliver tangible results for our entire city. Here’s a look at our ongoing efforts.

New Orleanians dream of a city where every neighborhood is vibrant and free of blighted properties. The Lot Next Door program allows eligible homeowners to purchase vacant, NORA-owned properties adjacent to their own. This helps them expand their yards or gardens, and more importantly, it reduces blight and strengthens our neighborhoods by getting these properties into the hands of residents.
Double Up! Duplex Program in the 7th Ward builds off the momentum from our 100 Day Challenge. People’s Housing+ is already 50% (or more!) complete with their first residential site near the St. Bernard Circle development.

For years, people in New Orleans have dreamed of a corridor that is once again bustling, safe, and beautiful. The St. Claude Ave. Revitalization Program supports local businesses along the corridor through facade improvements, public space enhancements, and other initiatives that make the area more welcoming for residents. By investing in the physical and economic landscape of the Lower Ninth Ward, NORA is helping to restore this vital area. |

We all dream of a New Orleans where everyone has a safe place to call home. The Tulane Avenue Non-Congregate Housing program is a crucial step toward achieving that goal. This program provides temporary, supportive housing for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The non-congregate model offers residents private, individual units, providing a greater sense of security, dignity, and stability.
