(Baton Rouge) – NewCorp, a private nonprofit, has provided financial products and services, technical assistance and training to small/medium, minority and women owned businesses since 1995. NewCorp recently made its first community investment in Baton Rouge as a funding partner for Urban Restoration Enhancement Corporation’s (UREC) Urban Garden Senior Village Development.
NewCorp Loan Fund Manager Peter Brooks said the purpose of the investment was to provide and restore rental housing in North Baton Rouge areas that were impacted by flooding in 2016, particularly for older adults.
Brooks said, “We are very proud to be a part of a project that provides access to quality housing and affordable rates to grandparents who are raising grandchildren, as well as the elders over 55 years old, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with UREC as it builds today’s communities for tomorrow.”
