Bayou District Foundation

The Bayou District Foundation ("bdf") works to revitalize the former st. bernard housing project, the low-income housing that was destroyed by hurricane katrina, and the surrounding neighborhood. Bdf's mission is to raise funds to facilitate the reconstruction of the neighborhood and its infrastructure. It has encouraged the construction of mixed-income housing, high quality schools, workforce training, and the redevelopment of recreational facilities in city park. By funding these projects bdf hopes to revitalize the community so that residents can return to a thriving neighborhood and enjoy a high quality of life, which will help break their cycle of poverty.
