HousingNOLA Implementation
Aligning Affordable Housing Policy with Transportation Infrastructure




This study was commissioned to inform the implementation of HousingNOLA, a community-led plan to address the housing needs of New Orleans over the next ten years.
​
The series of maps to the left form the foundation for recommendations to incorporate transit-oriented development into the HousingNOLA, ensure that future affordable housing projects are coordinated with the City's transit system, and create better access to employment centers and workforce training opportunities for low income families.
​
The maps were made using real-time GTFS feeds and ESRI Network Analyst to accurately reflect frequencies and transfers at different times of the day. The analysis identified areas of New Orleans that are accessible from major job centers within 30 minutes.
