RESTORE Program Overview
Restore Program
The RESTORE Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program, managed by the Office of Community Development (OCD) Disaster Recovery Unit, helps homeowners recover from the impacts of hurricanes (Ida, Laura, Delta) and flooding by providing funding for rehabilitation, reconstruction, and mobile home replacement. Here's a brief look at the program options available to homeowners:
- Solution 1: Program Managed Construction: For homeowners who opt for a state-managed contractor to complete home repairs or reconstruction.
- Solution 2: Homeowner Managed Construction: Allows homeowners to select their own contractors and manage their home construction projects, making it an excellent choice for those relocating their mobile homes.
- Solution 3: Reimbursement: Provides reimbursement for repairs already completed before the application process.
- Solution 4: Buyouts and Voluntary Acquisitions: For homeowners in high-risk flood areas, this option offers a buyout of their property to reduce future risk.
More details on the program can be found at RESTORE Louisiana.
