Our MISSION [primarily through the Community Development Block Grant Program] is to award and administer federal financial assistance to units of general local government in federally designated areas of the State to further develop communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally for persons of low to moderate income in accordance with federal statutory requirements.
Our GOAL is to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Louisiana - principally those of low and moderate income - through the implementation of sound management practices and the effective administration of the federal grant program.
The State Grants Management Section (SGMS) was created to effectively maximize the use of federal and private funds. State agencies, local governments and nonprofits can take full advantage of the services SGMS provides.
The Louisiana Assistance Resource Center (LARC) is a resource for grant writing information. Included on this webpage are helpful links to funding opportunities, technical assistance and other resources for Louisiana parishes, cities, towns, communities and faith-based and nonprofit organizations.
