This brand new affordable housing complex includes 117 units dedicated to those 55 years of age and older. Inside the building, seniors will have access to a fitness room, billiards, and card tables for daily activities. LHC awarded this project through its PRIME-2 program. Through the collaboration with the Office of Community Development, the two agencies were able to award $16.1M in CDBG funds.
LHC and housing partners brought affordable housing opportunities to St. Tammany Parish through the groundbreaking of Capstone at Covington Place. LHC awarded the project $18M in Multifamily Revenue Bonds (MRB), $979,460 in Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), and, through the partnership with the Office of Community Development, over $15M in Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds.
#TeamLHC was happy to participate in the initial construction ceremony for the Esplanade Delille Apartments located in New Orleans, LA. "Today, housing is more than just a roof, walls, and a door," says LHC Executive Director Kevin Delahoussaye. "Housing should serve a purpose to its residents and to its surrounding community. At LHC, we think about the intent behind our projects and how they will benefit everyone as a whole. The lot where the Esplanade Delille Apartments was vacant, but that will no longer be the case."
