 Our musicians are such an integral, important part of our city and our culture, so New Orleans has an abundance of organizations set up specifically for their benefit. They offer health services, since working musicians are so often uninsured; they offer professional development, to help musicians gain recognition on a national and world-wide scale; since Hurricane Katrina, organizations like the Musicians Village have been offering musicians assistance in rebuilding their lives and careers.

Rebuilding Musicians' Village
|
|
 Musicians’ Village, a cornerstone of the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity post-Katrina rebuilding effort, is designed to both construct a community and preserve a culture. Conceived by New Orleans natives Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis, Musicians’ Village will provide a home for both the artists who have defined the city’s culture and the sounds that have shaped the musical vernacular of the world. The core idea behind Musicians’ Village is the establishment of a community for the city’s several generations of musicians and other families, many of whom had lived in inadequate housing prior to the catastrophe and remain displaced in its aftermath.

As housing, family and financial challenges continue, we strive to remain a core resource for the music community.
