14 May 2024—the Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) Board of Directors recognized June as Homeownership Month, which coincides with the national recognition and awareness of Homeownership Month. Homeownership Month reaffirms LHC's commitment to help Louisiana residents achieve their dream of homeownership. LHC will organize numerous homeownership events including the 2nd Annual Taste of Home on June 8, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at LHC Headquarters.
Taste of Home will be open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to learn about the homeownership process, information on how to build up your credit score, and apply for financial assistance to help purchase a home. But that's not all! You'll also have the chance to speak and interact with some of LHC's approved lenders who are knowledgeable about LHC's programs and the current home-buying challenges. After the workshop, folks will enjoy a meal with #TeamLHC.
Registration is required and available spots are limited. LHC encourages members of the public to register soon before the registration portal closes. Families are allowed, but please be sure to register children also if they plan to eat at the event. Click the link to register online 2024 Taste of Home.
LHC is looking for sponsors to help organize the event. Those interested in sponsoring can email Dexter Alexander (DAlexander@lhc.la.gov).
In addition to Taste of Home, LHC will offer other homeownership events to help potential homeowners. LHC's Certified Homebuyer Education courses will focus on budgeting and credit management, down payment assistance, low-interest loans, and homebuyer rights. Some of the courses will be in person or virtual. Register for these courses online at www.lhc.la.gov/events.
