New Orleans Area Habitat For Humanity

NOAHH is a non-profit organization on a mission to build houses in partnership with sponsors, volunteers, and families to eliminate poverty housing in New Orleans. It is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). The program makes homeownership possible for families who are unable to qualify for traditional home loans but have a stable job, good or no credit, and the willingness to contribute 350 hours of sweat equity to the building of Habitat homes. New Orleans continues to rebuild housing that was destroyed by the devastating flooding of Hurricane Katrina. NOAHH has become a beacon of hope in this rebuilding process by recruiting and deploying tens of thousands of volunteers to construct new homes in damaged, blighted neighborhoods. With the support of our volunteers, donors, and partners across the country and even the world, NOAHH’s homebuilding capacity has increased annually since 2005. It was incorporated in 1983 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
