Crescent Care
In the Greater New Orleans area, CrescentCare is known for delivering high-quality, person-centered health care through the NO/AIDS Task Force, which was founded in 1983 in response to the AIDS crisis. For 20 years, we supported this community-based organization to become and then thrive as an FQHC. In 2017, we provided $21 million in financing for a new 64,000-square-foot campus. This facility enabled CrescentCare to triple its capacity and create or preserve over 450 jobs.

Legacy Homes Phase 2
The 7th Ward has historically been home to cottage industry businesses, including many home-based beauty parlor, barber shops, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, dentists, law firms, etc. Many of these businesses were started on the first floor of two (2) story homes, or on one- side of a duplex. It is a priority of the revitalization project to promote the return of "community" to the 7th Ward- harkening back to the day of a self- sustaining neighborhood where access to food, health care and personal care services were readily available to all residents.
