Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative

Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative is a leading neighborhood-based community developer working in a targeted area of New Orleans' Central City neighborhoods. Founded by the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana in early 2006 following Hurricane Katrina, Jericho Road has develop and innovative three-tiered approach to neighborhood revitalization. First, our Housing Development program creates healthy, energy-efficient, and affordable housing opportunities. Second, our Community Development program fosters the human capacity that can promote positive neighborhood change by connecting local residents, building resident leadership, and supporting neighborhood associations. Finally, through Vacant Land Management we develop solutions for the neighborhood and city-wide problems of blight and vacant properties through property acquisition, high-impact lot greening and urban agriculture projects, and advocacy initiatives.
