If you had damage from the 2020-2021 hurricanes and need assistance with submitting surveys, Restore Louisiana representatives will be on-site in Kenner today at the Martin Luther King Center before the August 1 deadline. Community Development Director Pat Forbes says homeowners statewide still have not completed the initial step.
“We know there are thousands of folks out there who could be eligible who haven’t done that survey. It’s just one among many outreach events we’re doing to try to get folks a better chance to get in and get that survey done.”
Restore LA provides grant funding to homeowners who suffered damage from hurricanes and flooding in 2020 and 2. The money can pay for repairs, reconstruction, and/or reimbursement for repairs already completed. Forbes says the goal is to get homeowners financial assistance to help them recover from their losses…
“We have ample funds to repair peoples homes and we know there are a lot of folks who could get our money who haven’t signed up yet.”
Since launching in February 2022, more than 22 thousand homeowners have submitted the survey. Forbes says the program expanded its criteria for homeowners to qualify.
“The thresholds have been reduced to $3,000 of FEMA verified loss and a threshold of no more than $25 thousand of insurance, that number has gone up to $50 thousand.”
Homeowners can complete the survey at restore.la.gov or call 866-735-2001.
