Faubourg Lafitte – New Orleans, La.

• In February 2011, we celebrated the opening of the first 134 apartments, bringing an end to many residents’ long journey home. The second phase of development is currently underway.
• All apartments meet the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria.
• The Sojourner Truth Neighborhood Center, adjacent to Lafitte is a hub for supportive services to former Lafitte residents and others in the community. A new Head Start center to be operated by Total Community Action is under construction on the Lafitte site.
• When complete, Faubourg Lafitte will include 900 affordable apartments and 600 for-sale or market-rate rental homes on the former Lafitte footprint and in the surrounding community.    

Oak Haven Apartments – Waveland, Miss.

• In January 2011, Gov. Haley Barbour joined Enterprise, the Bay Waveland Housing Authority, Centerpointe Regional Housing Development, the American Express Center for Community Development, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other local housing partners for a grand opening celebration with senior residents. 
• Oak Haven features 80 affordable, cottage-style apartment homes with the latest hurricane resistant technology of concrete filled insulated form wall systems built to withstand up to 130 mile per hour winds. 

Mississippi Cottage Square – Ocean Springs, Miss.

• This development is the first Katrina cottage neighborhood in the state.
• The energy-efficient cottages are some of the 3,000 that were built by the state of Mississippi as alternatives to the FEMA travel trailer.
• Enterprise is working in partnership with local nonprofits and other developers to demonstrate how these cottages can provide high-quality, permanent affordable housing when used in an appropriate setting.
