Introduction PONTCHARTRAIN PARK New Orleans, La. Hurricane Katrina Disaster Recovery Project Leon Trice Photography February 1957 Prospective Buyers Touring Pontchartrain Park Pontchartrain Park Is… In 1951, Pontchartrain Park was designed “for negroes” as a 190-acre recreation area with an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, stadium, ball fields, basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and fishing lagoons—and as a 175-acre residential subdivision of 1,000 single-family homes. Since the first residents moved to Pontchartrain Park in 1955, it has been one of New Orleans’ most desirable neighborhoods in which middle-class homeowners could live and raise families. Call to Action The Pontchartrain Park Community Development Corporation (“PPCDC”) was established in 2008 to protect and restore New Orleans’ historic Pontchartrain Park community. The CDC was formed by former Pontchartrain Park residents whose parents still reside in the Park, and is led by former resident and acclaimed actor Wendell Pierce. In the early stages of developing the CDC, Wendell secured the services of SRP Development, one of the top urban development firms in the country. SRP was already conducting an assessment of the rebuilding process and development systems in New Orleans as a result of a “Call to Action” by members of the Congressional Black Caucus, specifically, Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Wendell Pierce assembled a development team that includes Troy Henry and Darryl Henderson of Henry Consulting, and Daniel Davillier of the Davillier Law Group who all grew up in Pontchartrain Park or the surrounding community. The Development Group, led by Paul Taylor of SRP Development, began the design process for rebuilding Pontchartrain Park which culminated in PPCDC winning the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (“NORA”) bidding process for the redevelopment of Pontchartrain Park. Call to Action The critical needs of the community were researched and after many months of meetings and planning the following key community requirements were identified: Protection against future storms Redevelopment of new homes with technology that would utilize green building sciences Identify necessary subsidies to make the homes affordable Develop rebuilding timelines for new construction that is reasonable Streamline the prequalification process to allow buyers to go to a “one- stop shop” where there is one application process and not many Develop a selection of housing product choices that will allow a mix of buyers to repopulate Pontchartrain Park Develop a tracking system to manage and report the progress of every buyer that is in the process. Our goal is to treat every buyer like the only buyer! Repopulation Solution •The Pontchartrain Park CDC and its Development Team have completed one of the largest production platforms for building and selling affordable, high energy efficient, single-family homes to low & moderate income families in New Orleans. •The opening of the Model Home and Financial Assistance Center in spring 2010 will mark the launch of our production home building. The launch event will provide the opportunity for the public, media, and government agency representatives to see the green, energy efficient features of these high-quality homes. Potential buyers will be able to visit the Model home and obtain on-the-spot assistance in the process for obtaining approvals for mortgages and homebuyer subsidies. • With the assistance of our partners in the public, philanthropic and private sectors, the project has established the capacity and designs to rebuild 556 homes in Pontilly which encompasses Pontchartrain Park and will virtually eliminate abandonment and blight in this historic African American community. • The Pontchartrain Park community will be a major contributor to the rebirth of New Orleans as a “Green American City.” Energy Solution Goals REDUCING OUR IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT HERS PPCDC Demonstration Home Oil (barrels per year) CO2 emissions (ton per year) CO2 savings (tons per year) Energy Utility costs ($ per year) 26 20.4 3.8 8.8 $ 695.00 2006 IECC code 100 67.9 12.6 0 $ 2,314.00 New Orleans average existing housing pre 1990 building codes 200 104.9 17.8 -7.3 $ 3,577.00 Pierce Residence data from a certified RESNET home energy rating.
