View Award Description

Growing Minority Women-Owned Businesses & Creating Sustainable Jobs in Early Childhood Education in Central City, New Orleans - Peoples Housing + (formerly Home by Hand, Inc.) will use $800,000 in CED funds to support the creation of two early learning centers in New Orleans, Louisiana. CED funds will be used to construct two new locations of currently operational childcare businesses. Specifically, CED will partially finance construction costs for the redevelopment of a historic, blighted firehouse to become Inquisitive Thinkers Early Learning Academy. Wilcox Academy of Early Learning Central City will be built on a vacant lot, and CED funds will be used to make an equity investment in the business toward the construction costs. The project will leverage an additional $7,913,966 in loans, equity, tax credits, and applicant-supplied funds. This project will create 32 jobs, 26 of which will be filled by individuals with low income.
