Louisiana Housing Corporation Recognizes Energy Awareness Month

October 5, 2023

The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) joins the nation in recognizing October as Energy Awareness Month. This annual observance serves as a reminder of the critical importance of energy efficiency, sustainability, and conservation in Louisiana communities and homes.

As a leading agency dedicated to affordable housing solutions in Louisiana, LHC is committed to promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in housing programs throughout the state. 

"Our mission at the Louisiana Housing Corporation goes beyond providing housing; we strive to improve the quality of life for our residents," said Marjorianna Willman, Interim Executive Director of the Louisiana Housing Corporation. "Our Energy Assistance program not only helps Louisianans reduce their energy bills but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable Louisiana."

 As part of our celebration of Energy Awareness Month, hear from a homeowner in Ferriday, Louisiana, where she shares her journey towards energy efficiency and how LHC's Weatherization Services made a meaningful difference in her life.

Throughout October, LHC will host educational workshops and events to engage with communities and promote energy awareness. These initiatives will focus on educating residents, landlords, and developers about the benefits of energy-efficient housing, and providing resources and incentives for implementing energy-saving measures.

 

The staff at LHC encourages everyone to participate in Energy Awareness Month by taking simple steps to reduce energy consumption in their homes and businesses, such as upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, sealing leaks, and adopting sustainable practices. Small changes can lead to significant energy and cost savings, and a healthier environment for our state.
