Resident Organizing
Blight and beautification projects
NONDC works with residents to make their neighborhood a better place to live. Together with volunteers from Hands On New Orleans, we:
- Plan beautification projects like tree plantings
- Organize neighborhood clean-up days
- Clear lots
Property Campaigns
As a part of our property campaigns, residents come together to eliminate blight in the neighborhood. Some projects include:
- Working with the city to push problem properties through the code enforcement process
- Working with owners of abandoned houses and lots to identify options for their properties
- Conducting an annual visual property condition survey to assess the state of the neighborhood
Neighborhood Watches
NONDC helps link residents to the resources they need. When neighbors identify safety as an issue, we work with them to connect with the NOPD and each other to organize community policing initiatives and other crime reduction strategies.
