Signature Program
Statewide Non-Congregant Shelter Services
Statewide NCS is a non-congregate shelter-focused program centered on Louisiana’s urban areas that incorporates rapid bridges to permanent housing. In partnership with Louisiana’s Continuum of Care network, LHC created the program with three objectives in mind: build non-congregate shelters sufficient to accommodate the state’s unsheltered population, rapidly transitioning the population to permanent housing, and providing homelessness prevention opportunities statewide.

“For years, discriminatory housing policies denied low-income communities from obtaining safe, affordable housing,” said LHC Interim-Executive Director Bradley R. Sweazy. “In the next 3-5 years, the LHC will collaborate with our partners to implement practices that uplift communities of color and increase access to housing services.”
