Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | NEW ORLEANS, LA – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) brought together USDA-RD State Director Deidre Deculus Robert, Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) Executive Director Joshua G. Hollins, local elected officials, and community partners to convene three Partnership for Housing roundtables across Louisiana. These conversations focused on the latest updates in federal housing, affordability, and insurance. “I believe that housing is a basic human right and should be accessible to every Louisiana resident,” said Rep. Carter. “Our state has always faced unique challenges, and affordable housing and insurance resonate deeply in our hearts and homes. I understand that access to safe and affordable housing isn’t just a fundamental right, but the foundation for families to build their dreams. Louisiana’s vulnerability to natural disasters highlights insurance's essential role in safeguarding our homes and livelihoods. With recent memories of hurricanes and flooding, we recognize the urgency of finding comprehensive solutions that provide the protection we need and deserve. I was proud to partner with the Louisiana Housing Corporation, the Louisiana Department of Insurance, and USDA Rural Development to host today’s important conversations.” “Homeownership remains a big piece of the American dream for many families. Connecting families to resources that provide them with a pathway to affordable homeownership is one of the flagship programs we offer at USDA Rural Development,” said State Deidre Deculus Robert, Esq., Louisiana State Director at USDA Rural Development. “The Biden-Harris Administration, USDA, and Congressman Carter share that commitment. Joining Congressman Carter is his passion for affordable housing, we stand ready to provide information, resources, and homeowner workshops in any community in Louisiana. My office started conducting workshops recognizing that our citizens were not aware of our low interest loans, home repair products and other affordable housing opportunities. These workshops aid in understanding our programs and the application process.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:30:18Z |
