Registration Deadline for Louisiana Fortify Homes Program Grants Extended

The registration deadline for the current round of Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) grants has been extended to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, due to the national Cloudflare outage on Tuesday, the Louisiana Department of Insurance said.

Homeowners who wish to be included in the lottery must register to participate in this and future rounds, even if they have registered for a prior grant round.

Participants must create a profile on the LFHP website by clicking the Login button. Homeowners who previously created a profile may use the same one for this and future rounds. After creating and logging into their LFHP profile, homeowners must register during the registration period to participate in the lottery.

There are 1,000 grants available in this round, which is limited to residents of Louisiana’s Coastal Zone and of Lake Charles, Sulphur and Westlake.

If selected to participate, homeowners will be financially responsible for all costs beyond the full grant amount including evaluation fees for the evaluation process according to prices set by the Evaluator.

Those interested in the program are encouraged to review eligibility information, homeowner responsibilities and other important information at fortifyhomes.la.gov to determine whether they meet program requirements.

The LFHP provides grants of up to $10,000 for homeowners to upgrade their roofs to standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. The program helps Louisiana homeowners strengthen their roofs to better withstand hurricane-force winds.
