Lowernine.org is dedicated to the long-term recovery of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. To further its mission and enhance its capacity, lowernine.org is building a sustainable work-live headquarters in the L9W. The first floor will provide workspace, multi-functional education, gathering and community spaces for lowernine.org, partner nonprofits, and community members. The upper two levels will provide year-round, well-equipped, modern housing where visiting volunteers can live safely and comfortably, receive good meals and medical care, and experience a sense of community.

Shreveport Green is dedicated to promoting a healthy, sustainable, and economically vital community through public outreach, community enhancement, and a specific respect for the natural and built environment.The project includes building a gazebo on the site to host dinners, presentations and demonstrations, as well as provide a respite area for volunteers. Plans also include adding a rain barrel collection system, some benches, a ceiling fan and the wiring for both fan and lights.

This project from focuses on playground safety for multiple reasons. The existing playground is located across from a busy street and next to both fire and police department entrances to the Municipal Building. Children must cross a busy street to enter the playground, and police and fire department emergency vehicles continuously come and go from the complex for emergency calls , which adds to the dangerous conditions. In addition, the playground is not ADA compliant or accessible, and it lacks proper fall protection surfacing under the playground equipment.
