How to Help
Jericho Road was formed in March 2006 and is a partnership of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD). ERD, the international relief and development agency of the Episcopal Church, focuses on three program areas— emergency relief and rebuilding, food security and primary health. ERD is providing technical support to Jericho Road and supplied the initial funding totaling $2.3 million. The funding from ERD combined with planned financing from various community development corporations will result in an investment in the New Orleans Central City neighborhood of over $20 million.

You can donate your money or your time to help rebuild Central City. Both are needed and both are appreciated. Your contributions go directly to homebuyers to help them meet the financial qualifications necesary to purchase a home.
