A Brief History of the Project… In 2001, the Affiliated Blind of Louisiana Training Center's board of directors elected to sponsor and pursue funding for subsidized housing for people with physical disabilities. Later that year, funding was awarded for a complex with 23, 1 bedroom units and 1 manager's unit. Construction began during the summer of 2003, and was completed in the summer of 2004. Kevin Monk serves as President of the Board for Maison De Lemaire, Inc. This corporation is the owner corporation for the new facility. Neill Edwards served as the grant consultant and did a wonderful job of making all the necessary arrangements to assist with the grant administration. Due to the considerable expertise in developing apartments for special need populations, Gaudet & Tolson, Ltd. served as architects for the complex $1,392,600 was used to develop the 24 apartments to serve the physically disabled blind with a permanent place to live which is safe, sanitary, secure, affordable and available. The property is named in memory of Mr. John Lemaire, who was the founder and first Executive Director of the Affiliated Blind of Louisiana Training Center. Mr. John was an advocate for the blind and visually impaired in Acadiana and throughout the state. This was the last project he initiated prior to his death on March 30, 2001. Board of Directors:
