Home by Hand is a non-profit affordable housing developer in New Orleans.  We create neighborhoods of opportunity through the redevelopment of vacant and abandoned properties as self-help housing and advance the national self-help housing movement by sharing best practices and creating new resources. 

 

**NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS** We are excited to announce a new program: we are partnering with the Crescent City Community Land Trust to sell 10 homes in the Lower 9th Ward!
