Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon announced that the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) will open its third round of grants at noon on November 6.
There are 750 grants available in the third round, the Louisiana Department of Insurance said. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
This round of grants is open to all homeowners whose home meets the criteria required for upgrading to the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard.
The LFHP provides grants of up to $10,000 for homeowners to repair or replace their roofs to the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS).
The LFHP began with enough funding to award approximately 3,000 grants. The first half of those grants were limited to Citizens policyholders, and the remaining grants will be available to all homeowners across the state.
The grant will cover the cost of reinforcing a roof using methods that meet or exceed the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard, which includes strengthening a building against severe storms, high winds and wind driven rain. Homeowners must meet eligibility requirements and pay all costs for the roof upgrade including permits, inspections and construction costs beyond the amount of the grant.
