Mission:

The Dillard CDC provide services primarily to residents of Gentilly in the areas of housing assistance, educational workshops, lawn service and case management.

Recent Success: With the cooperation of city and state officials and the city’s Department of Public Works, the members of Gentilly Sugar Hill Neighborhood Association initiated and witnessed the dedication of a four block, eight foot wide concrete walking path on St. Anthony Street between Gentilly Boulevard and Interstate 610. Futuristically, we anticipate expanding the pedestrian infrastructure to include the entire length of St. Anthony from Interstate 610 to Agriculture Street.
