ENVIRENEW PROGRAM TO BEGIN ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS:
$10 Million Salvation Army Program Releasing RFP

The Salvation Army program EnviRenew will release its Request For Proposals (RFP) on Friday, November 20th at 10am. The release will take place at a groundbreaking at 1213-1217 Leboeuf Street in the Riverview neighborhood on the West Bank. The groundbreaking will witness the public release of the RFP to interested neighborhood organizations, developers and homebuyers.

EnviRenew is an initiative by the Salvation Army focused on promoting long-term affordability for homeowners by advocating for a comprehensive green building standard for households and neighborhoods. Prompted by ongoing recovery efforts in New Orleans, the program focuses on achieving long-term affordability by increasing energy efficiency and thereby lowering owner occupancy expenses. Lower utility bills and maintenance costs enable greater long-term savings for low-income households. Furthermore, by building environmentally sustainable homes and strengthening community capacity, the program serves as a model for neighborhood renewal and recovery.
