The agency's programs are made possible by a combination of federal, state, and local grants, fundraising activities, and private gifts and donations. An 18-member Board of Directors, composed of volunteers representing the low-income community, the private sector, and the public sector, governs LHDC. Volunteer policy and advisory councils guide some of the programs LHDC administers.
