Louisiana Fortify Homes Program Waitlist Participants Upgraded to Active Status

The Louisiana Department of Insurance said that the 400 Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) registrants who were placed on the waitlist after registering for the fifth round of grants last month have been moved to active participant status and may now apply for a grant.

LFHP staff sent emails to all 400 waitlisted participants on Wednesday, Oct. 16, notifying them that they have been selected to participate and must apply by midnight on October 30.

Over 11,700 homeowners signed up for the lottery, which will award grants of up to $10,000 to homeowners who upgrade their roof to the stronger FORTIFIED standard.

“Everyone who registered for the LFHP lottery and was placed on the waitlist should immediately check their email to complete the application process,” said Commissioner Temple. “We look forward to putting more FORTIFIED roofs on houses.”
