Mission:

The Broadmoor Development Corporation is the community development branch of the Broadmoor Improvement Association.

The Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA) is the leading civic organization for this diverse, thriving community in the heart of New Orleans. Created in 1930 to address the needs of the recently established neighborhood, the BIA incorporated in 1970 to fight the racially divisive practice of “blockbusting.”

Since Katrina, the BIA has led community efforts to rebuild Broadmoor – better than before. To date, the community has repaired over seventy percent of its homes; the neighborhood’s charter school just finished its first full year of operation; work is poised to begin on a local library. Challenges persist, but the BIA is committed to revitalizing Broadmoor – and by extension, the City of New Orleans – home-by-home and block-by-block, one resident at a time.

Current Priorities:

• Cultural and Community Facilities
• Economic Development
• Housing
• Public Education
• Quality of Life, Preservation, and Zoning
• Re-population and Membership
• Resident Case Management
• Youth Engagement

Partners:

The neighborhood has developed several key funding and planning partnerships, including: Harvardʼs Kennedy School of Government, the Clinton Global Initiative, and Shell Oil.
