  • Financial solutions, including Direct Purchase and Underwriting solutions, for FNO’s ongoing Sustainable Housing and Resilient Infrastructure programs, including municipal bond issuance strategies, credit enhancement, tax credit equity, and other public financing tools.

Finance New Orleans

Since 1978, Finance New Orleans has made homeownership more possible for New Orleanians by providing mortgage financing and credit enhancement for affordable housing. In response to a series of natural and economic disasters, FNO launched its new Strategic Plan in 2020, offering various financing products and services aimed at creating housing that is more affordable, equitable, and resilient for all New Orleanians, particularly those historically excluded from wealth-building and economic opportunities.

FNO Community Impact Bond

The FNO Impact Bond will capitalize loan loss reserve funds that allow FNO to offer single-family green mortgages to lower credit borrowers, and bond financing to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises developers – those with socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Under the EIB protocol, achieved outcomes will be quantified and disclosed annually.
