Testimonials

My name is Steve and I would like to talk about an agency in New Orleans that truly has the community at heart name brotherhood, Inc. Before I came to Brotherhood's housing program I had a very bad divorce and had no one to turn to and lost my apartment. I felt like a failure and was worried about my health and how I was going to survive.
Homeless, I was directed to Brotherhood's housing program where I was accepted and my life has improved. I now have two jobs and a comfortable house to put my life back in order. Without an agency such as Brotherhood, Inc. I don't know what I would have done, and I would like to thank Brotherhood for all their help and kindness.

I would like to take this time to inform the community about a agency name Brotherhood, Inc.. This agency has changed my life and self-esteem in many ways. We need more agencies like this that are willing to help people with mental health problems and housing needs. The agency's housing program assist you with medicine adherence, job placement, and any other services you might need. The program is a great place if you are starting over and trying to get on your feet. The program has been a blessing to many people, and I want to say God bless everybody at Brotherhood and thank you very much for your help and patience.
Sincerely Lester

Since I have been at Brotherhood they have insured that I have all the services and assistance I need. Before coming to the program I had nowhere to go. The staff is very kind and patience with all of the people in the various programs. I thank God for the agency because without them I don't know what I would do or where I would get help from. Thank you, Brotherhood for the work that you do for the people in need.
