FirstGov Changes Name, LAHousingSearch Launched
FirstGov Now USA.gov
For many years the official web portal of the U.S. government has been FirstGov (http://www.firstgov.gov). The name and web address of this site have recently been changed to USA.gov (http://www.usa.gov). The site still provides many different ways to browse or search for federal information, and also provides access to state government information from all 50 states.
LAHousingSearch
Several Louisiana government agencies are now co-sponsoring the LAHousingSearch.org web site (http://www.lahousingsearch.org/index.html). This free site allows those searching for housing to locate properties that are available within a given city, and allows property providers to list their properties. The entry for each property includes the address, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, monthly rent, and the date the property will be available. The web site is partially funded by a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
