"Reaching out to make a difference"
A preliminary survey is required to begin the application process for the Restore Louisiana program. The survey will be available on Monday, April 10th on the Restore Louisiana website. This is the first step to applying for assistance. This program is available to assist homeowners that did not have flood insurance when the March and August 2016 floods occurred. The program is also open to renters as well. The survey does not guarantee that you will qualify for additional federal assistance; however, it is the tool to begin qualification for the program. See the flyer below for more information.
