Overview

Collaboration and partnerships are key to developing affordable housing.

Louisiana Housing Corporation and Louisiana Office of Community Development partnered with private funding sources to fund this new construction multi-family mixed-use development in Tangipahoa Parish. Hammond Station Apartments will be a vibrant new mixed-income community enhancing neighborhood living in the Hammond area.

The project features a new three-story apartment building featuring 67 mixed-income units along with a fitness center, community center, community garden, bike storage area, and “resilient” design features.

Guided by LHC’s PRIME program, the Hammond Station Apartments project aims to create quality housing that will stay habitable during and after natural disaster events.

“The Hammond Station Apartments combine resilience and sustainability in their design, meaning less damage in future storms and less negative environmental impacts every day,” OCD Executive Director Pat Forbes said. “And, the Office of Community Development strongly supports construction of mixed-income communities like the Hammond Station Apartments, because they provide beautiful, resilient, sustainable housing that is affordable to everyone.”
