Monroe

#TeamLHC had a fantastic time connecting with attendees who came out to learn about homeownership resources, housing opportunities, and the path to achieving their dream of owning a home at the 5th Annual Home in Monroe event. Over the course of this two-day event, participants gained valuable insights from housing professionals and advocates on topics including the homebuying process, maintaining a home, and building long-term housing stability. Daniel Duggan, with LHC's homeownership outreach team enjoyed meeting with attendees and sharing how the Louisiana Housing Corporation can help support their homeownership journey every step of the way.
