COVID19: Housing Recovery

HOUSING RECOVERY UPDATES RELATED TO COVID-19

As circumstances from COVID-19 continue to evolve, LHC’s priority is ensuring the health and safety of our staff, customers, and partners while continuing to fulfill our mission of investing in affordable housing and economic development.

Consistent with guidance issued by government and health officials, and to do our part to help prevent the virus from spreading, LHC is encouraging a culture of social distancing.

Until further notice, LHC has asked our employees to work remotely and to restrict all business travel. Our organization has invested in technology that allows us to maintain business continuity despite these changes. While you may see us rescheduling meetings and trainings to occur as conference calls or webinars, our team remains committed to ensuring that we are accessible and responsive to your needs.

While we adapt as appropriate to the changing environment, LHC remains steadfast in our commitment to our work. More information for our customers and partners is below.
