Who We Are

Renaissance Neighborhood Development Corporation (RNDC) is a collaboration between Volunteers of America National Service and Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans to create 1,000 units of housing in Post-Katrina New Orleans. We are committed to providing workforce housing which serves working households in key service sectors. We are working in emerging urban neighborhoods to create developments that are proximate to jobs and employment opportunities, have good access to basic commercial services and are well-served by public transportation.

The Terraces is a newly constructed 200 Unit Senior Housing Development with a 3000 SF Community Center and Health Clinic, and will be located at 3615 Tulane Avenue.

**Interested Renters for Elysian Courtyards of Gentilly: Please call 504-944-8884 to inquire about an apartment**

 

Elysian Courtyards of Gentilly (formerly known as Chateau Carre) consists of 150 one and two-bedroom apartments in two buildings on a full block site in the Gentilly neighborhood. Originally built in 1964, this brick building was damaged during hurricane Katrina. Immediately after the storm, it was gutted, remediated, and provided with a new roof to preserve its integrity. The interiors of this development are being completely rebuilt, offering new apartments at a development cost that is significantly less than the cost of new development.
