Our History
Founded in 1997, Family Resources of New Orleans started the Family Resource Center in Historical Treme’ that same year. The Family Resource Center was established shortly after the welfare to work legislation which mandated that poor families enter the “world of work”, for the fist time. The center served as a safety net, providing families with soft skills training they needed to gain employment. Counseling and Case Management helped families to make the transition from “hopeless to hopeful”.
Our Mission
At Family Resources of New Orleans, our mission is to enable and empower families to become self-sufficient. We accomplish this mission by providing resources that promote affordable housing, rebuilding sustainable communities and fostering econmic well being. Our goal is to help low-wealth families build wealth through homeownership, employment & self-employment.
The guiding principle of the agency is to reduce the rate of poverty in urban and rural Communities. Growth and expansion of our services began in 2005, shortly after Hurricane Katrina. A separate office opened in St. Charles Parish serving the river parishes of St. Bernard, St. Charles, St John the Baptist and Plaquemines parishes.
