About Us

Housed within the Louisiana Division of Administration, the Louisiana Office of Community Development administers federal grant funding to eligible storm-affected entities throughout the state in the form of disaster recovery dollars for programs related to housing, infrastructure, economic development and mitigation and resilience.

To this end, LOCD leverages established statewide partnerships and proven best practices to help Louisiana communities recover, rebuild and implement long-term resilience planning that helps mitigate impacts from future disaster events.
