Making New Orleans a Better Home

Finance New Orleans is committed to creating an affordable pathway to homeownership for New Orleanians while improving the quality and creating a more climate conscious and resilient city.

Finance New Orleans is a housing and development finance agency serving all New Orleanians to better our community. We provide mortgage financing for low-to-moderate-income families and credit support for affordable rental and community development projects.

Founded by the City Council of New Orleans in 1978 as the “New Orleans Home Mortgage Authority,” our organization began by recognizing and acting on the demand for more affordable home mortgage financing. 今天, Finance New Orleans operates with a seven-member 董事会 of trustees appointed by the City Council of New Orleans. However, we are not a department or division of the city government.

Invested in New Orleans

Since 1979, Finance New Orleans has invested more than 6.5亿美元 into the New Orleans economy. Our efforts have been primarily focused on homeownership for low-to-moderate-income families. These investments have resulted in more than 8,000 mortgage financings and the creation of affordable rental units for families in need.

Our goal for the future is to continue investing in homeownership because we believe it is the foundation of an active community. In addition to homeownership, we increase our investments in multifamily and economic development projects that create stability in our neighborhoods.
