"Since Hurricane Katrina, LHFA has seen a dramatic growth in new housing investments in the region. With this came the need for us to maintain and access large volumes of housing data. PolicyMap gave us the ability to upload our data and have this data interact with larger, frequently updated data from the Census or HUD. This capacity is critical to helping us strategically plan our future investments."
Annie Clark, Policy Director, Louisiana Housing Finance Agency
