We are proudly rooted in Louisiana, a state that knows all too well the impact of natural disasters. Our journey began in the field of economic and community development, where we established multiple non-bank lenders and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to drive financial empowerment and growth in underserved areas. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina was a turning point for us. Collaborating closely with local leaders and businesses during recovery efforts, we recognized that much more could be done to build resilience in communities facing similar challenges.

With nearly three decades of business experience, we have spent the last 20 years dedicated to assisting in recovery, resilience, and sustainable growth. Our deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by disaster-affected regions has shaped our mission to create innovative solutions that not only rebuild but also fortify communities for the future. Our work goes beyond immediate recovery—it’s about ensuring long-term stability and economic strength for generations to come.
