Revitalization of blighted properties: in addition to the program expenses referenced above, in 2022, the organization invested $488,975 for the purchase and revitalization of blighted properties in its portfolio. Such expenditures are reflected in building and land costs reported on the balance sheet (part x, line 10) and, in the case of the property sold during the year, the cost basis of said property at sale (part viii, line 7b).

Civil rights corridor project: in 1957, leaders of the civil rights movement came together in new orleans to form the southern christian leadership conference (sclc). Martin luther king, jr. and other organizers were determined to coordinate a nonviolent direct action as a method of desegregating bus systems across the south and eventually taking on wider issues. The tulane regional urban design center (trudc) and Felicity Redevelopment, Inc. Worked with other community members to create an interpretive center to commemorate the significance of this and other civil rights actions that were planned or carried out in new orleans and which influenced the direction of the wider civil rights movement.
