The New Beginnings Bash, hosted by The Ascent Project on April 8, brought families together as they moved from Ardenwood Village into the newly built Cypress at Ardendale. With support from East Baton Rouge Parish Housing Authority, LSU AgCenter, AmeriHealth Caritas of Louisiana, HOPE Ministries Way to Work Program, and the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, the event created a welcoming and uplifting experience.

This moment represents more than a change in address. It reflects progress, opportunity, and a fresh start for families. Events like this highlight the people focused work at the heart of the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, where partnerships come together to support growth and long term stability.
