Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program

Award Deadline November 1, 2024 

The Restore LA Program run by the Office of Community Development has set a deadline of November 1, 2024, for grant applicants to close on their grant awards. The state agency will be sending out letters to all eligible applicants who have yet to execute final grant award agreements. The deadline letters will be sent to more than 4,700 applicants across Louisiana who have received an award determination but have not yet closed on their grant awards. Approximately 40 homeowners in Terrebonne will be receiving these letters and may call for support. 

The text will include the following:

"You are receiving this notice because the Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program has provided you with a grant award determination, but you have not taken the steps required to execute your final grant award agreement. The program has set a deadline of November 1, 2024, for all grant award agreements to be executed.
 
Please be aware that if your grant agreement is not accepted and executed by November 1, 2024, it will impact your eligibility to participate in the program. We urge you to take action on your grant award as soon as possible or reach out to your assigned case manager for assistance.”

The Restore LA program is urging all recipients to act on their awards as soon as possible if they still need assistance. They can reach out to their case manager whose contact information will be provided in the letter for questions and/or assistance with next steps. Failure to communicate with the state and take action prior to November 1, 2024, could remove applicants from eligibility to receive any Restore LA funding.

For questions or further information, applicants should not hesitate to contact the Restore LA staff at info@restore-la.org, 866-735-2001, or contact their specific case manager mentioned in the letter.
