The homes will be 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom brand new, energy efficient, modern design homes in the Filmore Gardens, Burbank Gardens and Milneburg neighborhoods of Gentilly.
The sales price for our 1st 5 homes is $165,000. We are providing up to $10,000 in closing cost assistance. The program is a self help housing model, where all participants will be involved in the building of their home from start to finish, contributing a minimum of 100 work hours over a 5-6 month period.
No construction experience is required.
Activities will include painting, landscaping, and site clean-up, to name a few. We have experienced, trusted builders for the majority of construction. Our groundbreaking is set for Thursday, January 14—
