About Lincoln Hills Development Corporation (LHDC)

Lincoln Hills Development Corporation (LHDC) was founded in 1965 to serve the citizens of southern Indiana, primarily in Crawford, Harrison, Perry and Spencer Counties.  The agency is funded through a combination of federal, state and local resources. The primary objective of LHDC is to provide self-help and self-sufficiency opportunities for the low income citizens of the service area, while continually striving to address the unmet service needs.

LHDC is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives of the low income, representatives of the private sector and public officials. The various programs administered by LHDC are guided by policy and advisory councils made up of local volunteers. Individuals who are interested in serving on any of these advisory boards should contact the LHDC office at 1-800-467-1435.
