On 9 October 2025, LAC announced:
The call for proposals for the Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP) scheduled for this fall is postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Updates will be provided in due course.
Apparently, “Due Course” has not yet arrived. In prior years, the call for proposals had already been issued.
Few would be surprised if LAC decided that cutting the program would be a relatively painless way to save $1.5 million, plus the associated administrative costs, at a time when the organization’s total budget is being severely pruned.
Will LAC provide an update soon? Or does due course mean indefinitely?
