The #PutHousingFirst Candidate Scorecard Evaluates Candidates Based on Commitment to Affordable Housing

While the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance does not officially endorse any political candidates, GNOHA releases the #PutHousingFirst Candidate Scorecard as an indicator of a candidate’s concern, or lack thereof, regarding affordable housing. We encourage voters to consider the #PutHousingFirst scorecard as they participate in early voting and go to the polls on Election Day.

What We Want From Our Elected Leaders

Our elected leadership must ignore the corporate lobby and support community solutions. New Orleans voters are demanding that our new elected leaders will:

• Preserve existing and expand the total supply of affordable rental and homeownership opportunities throughout the City of New Orleans.
• Prevent future displacement through development activities and continued study and policy review.
• Enforce and promote fair housing policies throughout New Orleans.
• Encourage sustainable design & infrastructure for all New Orleanians.
• Increase accessibility for all walks of life, including special needs residents.
• Promote transparency and utilize community input in decision-making
• Improve the quality of life in New Orleans neighborhoods.
