Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple said the number of grants has doubled for the latest round of the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program due to high volume of registrants.
Temple increased the number of grants this round from 300 to 600 after nearly 12,000 homeowners signed up for the lottery. Homeowners who were selected to participate in the program will receive grants of up to $10,000 to upgrade their roof to the Fortified standard.
The LFHP notified registrants by email this week if they were selected to participate, placed on a waitlist, or not selected to participate during the randomization process.
“The high level of engagement shows that Louisianans recognize the need to build more resiliently, but it also underscores how much work lies ahead,” said Temple. “Whether registrants were selected, their decision to participate will demonstrate to the legislature that we need to continue supporting the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program.”
This round of grants was limited to residents of Louisiana’s Coastal Zone and of Lake Charles, Sulphur and Westlake.
