The Parish has an opportunity to apply for $300,000 in aide for LMI households from this program and will hold a public hearing on the matter in the 6th floor Council Conference Room Monday March 24th, 2014 at 4:30 if you have any interest in attending. 

The funding is reserved for LMI households that are also receiving FEMA elevation grants. It is expected that approximately 10-12 households will be served. Letters have been sent inviting people who have expressed concerns about meeting a match in the past to encourage participation. Each household will need to provide income information for an official determination of eligibility based on inability to pay. 

This is the first time this targeted approach has been tested by the state. The parish hopes to elevate those households that would otherwise remain in unsafe conditions or lose their homes.
