The Jaeger Foundation received lots in the Riverview neighborhood for redevelopment through the City of New Orleans Adjudicated Properties Program. The goal of the Jaeger Foundation and its affiliate, the Algiers Redevelopment Foundation, together with the assistance from late Reverend Arthur Wardsworth, The First Responder’s Fund, The Algiers Riverview Association, and Old Algiers Main Street is to develop and sell homes on these lots to low and moderate income first-time homebuyers with incomes between 70% and 120% of Area Median Income as established by the Finance Authority of New Orleans (FANO).  The targeted homebuyers are first responders, educators, referrals, displaced residents of the neighborhood with a desire to return, artists/musicians and cultural workers, as well as other contributing members of society meeting the minimum qualification guidelines.  Applicants must meet the requirements of the program as set forth in the qualification guidelines.
