At Providence Community Housing, HOME is what we are all about. We are building, preserving, and operating communities for our residents that will have a meaningful impact today and for generations to come. Quality housing has a direct positive impact on the mental and physical well-being of every member of a household.
Quality housing that is affordable and accessible is the cornerstone to health for seniors, individuals, families, and communities. When housing is affordable, families are less likely to face the difficult financial decisions and choices that impact their health and quality of life. Children who live in quality houses perform better in school and have fewer behavior issues. Seniors who live in affordable housing communities are more likely to eat better nutrition and have better access to healthcare.
Providence has always had a strong portfolio of affordable senior assets, but we have now expanded our work to include property management services for an additional 15 locations. That adds an additional 1,800 units to our existing portfolio of 1,500 rental units. To support our low-income seniors in staying independent, we provide service coordination to improve access healthcare, nutrition, transportation and other community-based supports.
Strong communities are paramount to Providence’s mission to transform lives and communities through the development, preservation, and management of affordable homes while connecting seniors, individuals, and families to opportunities that enhance their quality of life.
Providence Community Housing currently provides more than 3,300 people throughout the Greater New Orleans region with a quality place to live that they can afford. We have helped more than 600 individuals and families realize the dream of homeownership. Our continued commitment to innovative strategies, housing preservation, property management and service coordination will help us build and maintain more affordable homes in the years ahead. This is critical to help meet the extraordinary housing needs of our community over the next five years and beyond.
We invite you to partner with us on our journey to create vibrant communities that support seniors, individuals, and families.
