Homefront Communities

CDC Community Housing Development Program

The homes we build are not just structures.

They are proof.

Proof that veterans can build a path back. Proof that apprentices can create something permanent. Proof that Louisiana communities can grow from within.

Homefront Communities develops affordable cottage housing on adjudicated and blighted properties throughout North Louisiana — built by the same apprentices trained in our DOL program. Every nail driven is an OJT hour earned. Every home completed is a family housed and a craftsman credentialed.

STRUCTURE: Cottage homes 500-800 sq ft BUILT BY: DOL registered apprentices SERVED BY: Veterans + working families LAND SOURCE: Adjudicated community properties OJT HOURS: 5,700-8,700 per home site COST EST: $60,000-$90,000 per cottage

"Every home built = OJT hours logged + families housed + apprentices credentialed.
One construction site. Three missions completed."

OPENING: SEPTEMBER 8, 2027
