Description
The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) offers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a flexible program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of local development needs. The program supports decent, affordable housing, services for vulnerable community members, and job creation through business expansion and retention. It helps local governments tackle serious challenges facing their communities.
LHC presents CDBG among its housing development funding sources, alongside its work with developers to provide housing for Louisiana residents. The program complements LHC’s mission to ensure access to safe, affordable, energy-efficient housing. Nationally, annual CDBG appropriations are allocated between states and entitlement local jurisdictions, with states distributing funds to non-entitlement localities.
