Holy Cross Neighborhood Association

Protect. Preserve. Promote.

About Us

Established in 1981, the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association’s (HCNA’s) primary goal has been to improve the living conditions and serve the needs of our Lower Ninth Ward residents while preserving the cultural and architectural heritage of our area. Residents are invited to attend our monthly meetings and help steer us to the future of the neighborhood. We need your involvement to help this community have a strong voice.

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Villa St. Maurice (500 St. Maurice Avenue), starting at 6:30, and look forward to having you join us!
