The
Louisiana Housing Finance Agency was established in 1980 pursuant to
the Louisiana Housing Finance Act contained in Chapter 3-A of Title
40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended. The enacting
legislation grants the Agency the authority to undertake various programs
to assist in the financing of housing needs in the state of Louisiana
for persons of low and moderate incomes.
LHFA specializes in forming partnerships with federal, state and local
governmental units, banks, lending institutions and non-profit and for-profit
developers to make housing affordable for Louisiana’s families.
These partners utilize LHFA’s financial and technical assistance
programs to reach out to the individual homeowner or renter.
