Today, we are releasing our 2022 Year in Review — outlining our noteworthy accomplishments this year.
It was a banner year for the Louisiana Housing Corporation. Our dedicated team of 145 public servants pressed forward in our mission to provide safe, affordable, energy-efficient housing for all Louisianans. Their dedication and collaboration created housing that supported economic development, more job opportunities, and strengthened our communities.
I am proud of our team’s accomplishments this year and look forward to supporting new homeowners, funding multifamily projects, and developing more affordable housing units in 2023. Through transparency, accountability, competency, and productivity, we are building this corporation with resilience by implementing our strategic plan, increasing partnerships, expanding housing stock in rural communities, and much more.
Scroll down to watch a recap of this year's accomplishments and view our highlights by the numbers.
