Open, main building was demolished before the storm and construction of mixed income residential community in its place continues.

Nestled in the curve of the westbank approaches to the Crescent City Connection you'll find the HANO (HUD) operated Fischer Housing Project.

Like other high density public housing projects in the metro area this project became a hotbed of criminal activity. Murder and drugs led the way. Residents from this area were initially unaffected by Katrina until they were evacuated and the project sealed. Fischer's impact on Algiers Point is hard to estimate.

The main six story building was imploded earlier in the Summer of 2005. Gibbs Construction has been building what looks like medium density condos and houses in the space. This would be consistent with recent direction to replace high density public housing with mixed use housing including some individually owned units with Section 8 and rental housing.
