Dialogue on Race Louisiana is excited to announce its partnership with CST MultiFamily Real Estate Services to host a special Holiday Happy Hour at The Reserve at Howell Place, a new affordable housing community in Howell Place in Scotlandville. The event will be held on Tuesday, December 12, at 5:30 p.m.

Dialogue on Race Louisiana is a national organization based in Baton Rouge that provides a one-of-a-kind space to talk about race.

The Reserve at Howell Place, a $70 million housing project by CST Multifamily Real Estate Services, is a groundbreaking development that aims to address the urgent need for affordable housing in East Baton Rouge Parish, where approximately 19% of residents lack access to affordable homes, according to Housing First Alliance.

Maxine Crump, President and CEO of Dialogue on Race Louisiana, stated, “Participants in the Dialogue on Race Series are asked where they see racism, what they would like to see done, and what they can see themselves doing. CST and Tom Delahaye seemed to have asked similar questions that led to building the $70M Reserve Housing Development in Scotlandville. Scotlandville is one of the many neighborhoods nationwide that has been impacted by a century of federal, state, and local government racially discriminatory housing policies.”

Tom Delahaye, CEO of CST Multifamily Real Estate Service, shared, “Our vision is to create quality communities where families can thrive, enhancing pride for everyone. The Dialogue on Race Original Series, which I participated in many years ago, greatly impacted many of my life and career decisions. I am proud to support their continuing work in the community, and I encourage other builders and developers to help fill this housing need.” 

Housing is the pathway to economic mobility and opportunity. Studies have shown that stable, quality, accessible, and affordable homes lead to healthier communities and benefit the whole city.

“The Reserve housing development is an amazing opportunity for the residents who will live here, the Scotlandville community, and the city of Baton Rouge.” said Ms. Crump, “Everyone has a chance to be a part of making a difference in their community, large or small. The Dialogue on Race Original Series offers an education process for talking about race that can lead to understanding and change.”

The event will be held at The Reserve at Howell Place Clubhouse, 4245 Ford Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70807. Visit dorla.eventbrite.com for tickets or contact info@dialogueonracelouisiana.org.


Dialogue on Race Louisiana is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating racism through education, action, and transformation. The organization creates spaces for fostering open and honest conversations about race.

CST Multifamily Real Estate Services is committed to providing quality housing solutions to communities. With a focus on affordability and modern amenities, CST works to address the critical need for housing in East Baton Rouge Parish.
