Your rights

Louisiana has no source-of-income protection, and New Orleans has no local ordinance — a private landlord may legally decline a Housing Choice Voucher. Fair Housing law still protects you from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability.

Neighborhood

Bienville Basin sits between Tremé and the French Quarter, within walking distance of the Central Business District and served by New Orleans RTA bus and streetcar lines on Canal Street.
