The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) will provide an update on the revised Draft 2025 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) and application timeline at the LHC Board of Commissioners Meeting being held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024. LHC staff will post the revised Draft 2025 QAP to the agency’s website following the board meeting for public comments and expect to return with a final 2025 QAP for the LHC Board of Commissioners’ approval at the Nov. 13, 2024, board meeting.
Special attention has been given to Governor Landry’s request for the LHC Board of Commissioners to reissue a 2025 QAP that includes a robust cost containment policy, and that provides greater emphasis on supporting the elderly and single-parent households, as well as providing assistance for victims of domestic violence.
LHC received several comments about reinstating the threshold requirements related to fortified building construction to the 2025 Draft QAP. After further review, staff will ask for consideration of resiliency standards established in the 2024 QAP remain in the 2025 QAP. Other measures to reduce development costs will be considered and discussed at the Oct. 9, 2024 board meeting.
Comments will continue to be accepted until the QAP is approved by the LHC Board of Commissioners. Written comments may be submitted to qapcomments@lhc.la.gov.
