Mission:

Harmony Neighborhood Development (HARMONY) – formerly NONDC – is a non-profit, comprehensive community development organization focusing its work in Central City New Orleans. We create high quality housing choices while advocating and partnering for the development of vibrant communities. HARMONY’s comprehensive approach to revitalization also includes blight elimination, homeownership services, resident organizing, community asset building and small-scale commercial development. We accomplish this by leveraging community partnerships and private and public funding options.

HARMONY believes by building capacity for homeownership among low-income families in Central City, we are stimulating community wealth-building and empowerment. Our team’s cluster development activities in Central City are aimed at restoring desolate blocks into lively areas with new levels of commitment and investment. Our vision is to create a vibrant Central City by increasing homeownership to 40 percent over the next ten years.
