The Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) was awarded a $468,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative (CFDA 14.895) to implement a comprehensive workforce development program for public housing residents. The grant, with a period of performance from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027, will enable HANO to deliver a range of employment-related services, including work readiness training, job placement assistance, educational advancement, technology skills training, and financial literacy education. The initiative aims to increase earnings and employment outcomes for HANO's public housing residents through a holistic approach that addresses barriers to self-sufficiency. As a sub-recipient, HANO will also collaborate with the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to implement federal disaster recovery grants, providing emergency protective measures, temporary housing assistance, and critical repairs following natural disasters in the New Orleans region.
