Louisiana Housing Corporation Launches the Minority, Women, and Veteran-Owned Business Directory

Thursday, 14 December 2023—The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) proudly announces the launch of a comprehensive online directory, aimed at increasing the material participation of minority, women, and veteran-owned businesses in the LHC funded programs and to connect consumers with businesses committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.  

In a world that increasingly values diversity, LHC recognizes the vital contributions of minorities, women, and veteran entrepreneurs. The online Directory is a central hub, facilitating access to various businesses across various industries, fostering economic growth, and promoting a more inclusive marketplace. 

These specific business owners can fill out a form online to join LHC's repository of Louisiana-based Minority, Women, and Veteran-Owned Businesses. The Directory will be a living online document, updating over time as LHC collects willing participants. 

"Creating sustainable partnerships that empower Louisiana business owners is an important role for LHC," said Interim-Executive Director Marjorianna Willman. "We want to be more inclusive, ensuring everyone has a seat at the table to showcase their products, services, and talents. Creating this platform will allow collaboration among many groups wanting to conduct business with LHC."
