Dear Friends,
I wanted to share an exciting opportunity for Lousiana homeowners.
The Louisiana Fortified Home Grant Program lottery registration opens Monday, offering eligible homeowners the chance to receive grant funds to help strengthen their roofs.
Lottery registration for the Fortify Homes Grant Program opens Monday, June 1 at 8 a.m and closes June 19 at 5 p.m.
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LHFP) helps Louisiana homeowners strengthen their roofs to better withstand hurricane force winds.
Grants up to $10,000 for homeowners to upgrade roofs to standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).
The completed roofing project must meet the FORTIFIED Roof Standard for the grant to be issued. Grant funding is limited to construction costs.
The program does not permit the use of grant funds to homeowners who elect to fortify their roof without first receiving a LFHP grant.
The list of coastal parishes that are eligible to participate is expanding to include Acadia, Jefferson Davis and Lafayette parishes. Additionally, homeowners who live in the portions of Ascension, Calcasieu, Iberia, Livingston, St. Martin, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Vermilion parishes that were previously not included in the program will now be eligible to participate (Orleans and Jefferson are included).
Homeowners who registered for a previous round but were not selected must register again to participate.
Once the lottery registration period closes, the LFHP will randomly select 3,000 participants and send email notifications to registrants about whether they were selected to participate. These selection notices will be sent via email beginning on Monday, June 22.
