About CCP

The Central City Partnership is a collaboration of community-based organizations, faith based institutions, public schools, businesses, universities, residents and community leaders (both grass roots and elected) in the Central City Neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. The Partnership was organized in 1994 by the Central City Economic Opportunity Corporation (CCEOC) for the purpose of strategic planning and development of a neighborhood collaborative to facilitate Enterprise Foundation assistance and other national funding sources.

Since its inception, the Partnership has developed into a community governance structure to facilitate and promote revitalization of the Central City Neighborhood.
