The LFHP grant requires that the Applicant-Homeowner have all the following at the time of applying for the LFHP grant:
-
A homestead exemption on the primary residence.
-
A policy of insurance that provides wind coverage for the primary residence.
-
A flood insurance policy on the primary residence if it is in a special flood hazard area.
LFHP staff will independently verify the existence of a homestead exemption using state records and the flood zone of the primary residence using federal and state resources. Before moving to the Contractor selection phase of the grant process, the Applicant-Homeowner must upload a copy of the declarations page of the policy showing wind coverage and, if required, the flood insurance policy.
PLEASE NOTE: Homeowners must first create their profile within the Louisiana Fortify Homes system before logging in to register for the lottery.
