§600.72. Legislative findings
The legislature finds that:
(1) Hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents were displaced by Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita.
(2) Hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroyed thousands of residential housing units in
Louisiana, left thousands of residential housing units substantially damaged in areas that
must be repopulated to restore the economic base of those areas, and created an
unprecedented housing shortage for both homeowners and renters throughout the state.
(3) Displaced persons need the assistance of knowledgeable professionals to develop
suitable housing strategies for their primary residences. This assistance can best be provided
by nonprofit organizations that have been certified by the Louisiana Housing Corporation.
These certified nonprofit organizations will be sustainable community based entities acting
as consumer advocates and evolving over time to meet the needs of our citizens.
NOTE: Pursuant to Acts 2007, No. 383, §3, the provisions of this Section ceased to be
