The Lot Next Door
The Lot Next Door Program provides residents living adjacent to NORA-controlled properties the first opportunity to purchase and redevelop these properties.
The program was established by a New Orleans City Council Ordinance following Hurricane Katrina. The requirements for the Lot Next Door Program are as follows:
- NORA must own or control the adjacent property
- Purchaser must live directly adjacent to the property
- Purchaser must share frontage with the property
- Purchaser must have received a homestead exemption on their property

In addition to having the first opportunity to purchase NORA-controlled properties, Lot Next Door purchasers may also qualify for the Growing Home Incentive Program. The program provides purchasers with technical assistance to develop their purchased lot into a garden. Through the program, purchasers may receive up to $10,000 to assist with the beautification of the lot through ornamentals, edible gardens and other landscaping efforts.
