is a statewide initiative aimed at meeting Louisiana's housing needs
and create a statewide network of regional housing alliances to ensure
better collaboration across the state. Under the #PutHousingFirst
banner, Louisiana has built out its Housing Triad, a multi-pronged
strategy transforming the affordable housing marketplace across the
state. This alignment supports a housing-centered foundation for
intersectional community-rooted initiatives designed to respond to
climate change, criminal justice reform, racial inequity, the COVID-19
pandemic, and the hurricanes that have devastated South Louisiana over
the last few years."
