Welcome to
1735
Named after the first year a property was officially recorded in Orleans Parish, our mission is to rebuild the future by restoring people and repurposing places.
We believe every blighted property — and every person — has the potential to rise again.

MAKE HISTORY,
not money...
​1735 makes history by repurposing blighted properties, providing housing, offering workforce opportunities, teaching life skills, preserving genealogy, and creating programs that help people rebuild—not for profit, but for purpose.
Housing Assistance
Safe, stable independent living for people at every stage of life. Our housing programs offer structure, community, and support for youth, adults, veterans, and seniors seeking stability and a fresh start.
Life Skills &
Self-Improvement
​Educational support, creative development, and guided apprenticeships for individuals ready to grow. We help students, emerging workers, and artists develop skills, strengthen their voice, and express their stories through training, workshops, and hands-on opportunities.
Workforce Development
Hands-on job training, employment pathways, and skill-building opportunities for anyone ready to work. We help individuals gain confidence, earn income, and build long-term independence.
Community Support & Resources
Programs that connect people to guidance, community partners, and practical resources. Whether stabilizing, transitioning, or rebuilding, we meet individuals where they are and help them take the next step.
