Incorporated on June 8, 1938, Vieux Carré Property Owners, Residents and Associates (VCPORA) is one of the oldest architectural and community preservation non-profit organizations in the United States. We are dedicated to the preservation and protection of the Vieux Carré as an international historic treasure, a major cultural and economic asset, and a living residential neighborhood that is valued and respected by all.

The organization focuses on advocating for sound land use planning, sensitive architectural stewardship, infrastructure, sustainable tourism, expanding residential capacity, and fostering civic participation. In addition, VCPORA hosts educational programming to advance preservation and historic understanding, as well as social events that connect the community and celebrate the neighborhood fabric of the French Quarter.
