Historic Home Repair Grant Program
The Preservation Resource Center & City of New Orleans’ Historic Home Repair Grant Program is designed to help low-to-moderate income homeowners and to preserve the historic architecture and culture of our city.
Funded by the City of New Orleans and managed by the Preservation Resource Center, eligible homeowners can receive grants of up to $20,000 to cover minor repairs to the exterior of their historic home within Orleans Parish.
Examples of eligible repairs:
- Repairing or replacing damaged gutters, siding, and trim
- Repairing or replacing roofs
- Repairing or replacing damaged or inappropriate doors, windows, or shutters
Spring Home Tour
The PRC’s Spring Home Tour opens the doors to several private residences and showcases the livability and versatility of New Orleans’ beloved vernacular architecture and neighborhoods.
The Spring Home Tour is held every spring and draws preservationists and attendees from across the country. This annual event raises funds for the Preservation Resource Center to help protect the historic architecture, neighborhoods and cultural identity of New Orleans.
There are two ways to enjoy the tour and explore the neighborhood: a self-guided tour and the Enhanced Architectural Experience, a guided tour with an expert guide from NOLA Tours. These exclusive walking tours highlight additional key houses along the tour route and give a deeper historical context to the featured homes and neighborhood.
