Blight Elimination
NONDC has a strong commitment to mitigating and eliminating blight in Central City. We currently employ a Six Block Acquisition and Blight Elimination Strategy, focusing our efforts in those areas adjacent to public and private investment. As a partner on the Harmony Oaks redevelopment project, we achieved an investment that has been able to revitalize a public housing project into a vibrant mixed-income community. As the partner for the scatter site development of individual homeownership units in the surrounding neighborhood, we recognize the need to continue that investment beyond the rental site itself and into the neighborhood.
Beautification
Since January 2010, NONDC alongside residents, local and national volunteers has planted over 50 trees in the Central City area. Our ongoing partnership with Hands On New Orleans will allow us to pair volunteers with residents in efforts at landscaping and neighborhood clean-up.
