About LHFA

The Louisiana Housing Finance Agency was established in 1980 pursuant to the Louisiana Housing Finance Act contained in Chapter 3-A of Title 40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended. The enacting legislation grants the Agency the authority to undertake various programs to assist in the financing of housing needs in the state of Louisiana for persons of low and moderate incomes.

LHFA specializes in forming partnerships with federal, state and local governmental units, banks, lending institutions and non-profit and for-profit developers to make housing affordable for Louisiana’s families. These partners utilize LHFA’s financial and technical assistance programs to reach out to the individual homeowner or renter.
