On November 18, 2006 NOAHH started building the first Habitat elder-double on the corner of Roman and Bartholomew. Five New Orleans style doubles or duplexes have been built as rental units for elderly Master Musicians in Residence of New Orleans.
These elderly musicians will provide a rich resource for the younger residents of the Village and the surrounding communities.
As one of the many musicians who was nurtured by the vibrant cultural environment in New Orleans, I cannot overstate the importance of the Musicians’ Village. Please lend your support for those artists eager to call New Orleans home again, and for those in future generations who will be the beneficiaries of their knowledge.- Branford Marsalis
