About this facility
- Mission
- From their website:
To build houses in partnership with sponsors, volunteers, communities, and homeowner families, whereby families are empowered to transform their own lives
To eliminate poverty housing in the New Orleans area while serving as a catalyst to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action
How We Do it
Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner Partner Families. Habitat houses are sold to Partner Families at no profit, and financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses. Management
New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity, is managed by a local volunteer board comprised of eminent individuals from different backgrounds. NOAHH also relies on AmeriCorps volunteers to fill positions on the construction site, in the office, and at the Habitat ReStore. An experienced, professional staff manages the day to day office operations and long range strategic planning thus reducing operational costs and freeing resources for direct construction activities. - Areas served
