Re:	Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana
	Form SB-2 filed on October 29th 2004
	File Number 333-119026

Mr. Herndon:

	We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response
to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your explanation
as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some of
our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental
information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.

The purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance
with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall
disclosure in your filing.  We look forward to working with you in
these respects.  We welcome any questions you may have about our
comments or any other aspect of our review.  Feel free to call us at
the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

How We Determined the Price Per Share and the Offering Price - page 90

1. We note your response to prior comment number 22.  Please revise
this section and the summary to include the explanation of the
downward adjustment resulting from Home Federal Bancorp`s market area
and liquidity of shares, as well as other material factors, after your
discussion of the discount (i.e., on pages 4 and 93).

Independent Auditor`s Report - page F-1

2. File a signed report of the independent auditor in an amendment to
the Form SB-2.

Exhibit 5

3. Please include whether or not you have determined that the shares
have been duly authorized.

Exhibit 8.1

4. In the first sentence of the third paragraph on page 2, please
refrain from assuming legal conclusions.  It would appear that the
assumption that the plan was "duly" authorized requires a legal
conclusion, or is vague as to the meaning of "duly." Please opine
directly on this issue.

5. The last sentence of the third paragraph on page 2 is unclear.
Please clarify that the opinion addresses all material federal income
tax consequences and refer to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-B.

6. In the last sentence of subparagraph number 20 on page 8, please
refrain from assuming legal conclusions.  The opinion should be based
upon the "more likely than not" analysis and belief, rather than rely
upon an assumption.  Please opine directly on this issue.

Exhibit 8.2

7. It is inappropriate for counsel to assume a legal conclusion in
providing an opinion, unless that assumption has appropriate support.
Please identify the source that counsel relies upon in assuming that
the subscription rights have no value.  Alternatively, please
eliminate the assumption from the opinion.  If counsel is not able to
opine upon a particular legal conclusion, please identify that
conclusion and the reason that counsel is unable give the requisite
opinion.  Please refer to items 3 and 4 on page 4 of LaPorte, Sehrt,
Romig Hand`s opinion as to Louisiana Taxation.

Closing Comments

As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in response
to these comments.  You may wish to provide us with marked copies of
the amendment to expedite our review by showing deleted sections as
strikethrough and added sections as underlining.  Please furnish a
cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our
comments and provides any requested supplemental information.
Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review.  Please
understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your
amendment and responses to our comments.

	We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be
certain that they have provided all information investors require for
an informed decision.  Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have
made.

	Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company requests
acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration
statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such request,
acknowledging that

* if the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declares the filing effective, it does not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
* the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
* the company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities
laws of the United States.

	In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division
of Corporation Finance in connection with our review of your filing or
in response to our comments on your filing.

We will consider a written request for acceleration of the effective
date of the registration statement as a confirmation of the fact that
those requesting acceleration are aware of their respective
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of
the securities specified in the above registration statement.  We will
act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority, grant
acceleration of the effective date.
