Louisiana Housing Corporation Launches 2023 Blue Tarp Fund Roofing Repair Program
BATON ROUGE, LA - The Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2023 Blue Tarp Fund Roofing Repair Program, a grant program designed to assist eligible homeowners in Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge Parishes with roofing repairs. LHC is launching this program as a result of an initiative by Sen. Regina Barrow that was included in appropriation bills during the 2021 and 2022 regular legislative sessions.
LHC is now accepting applications for the program, which is open to homeowners who own and live in their home as their primary residence and have been the owner for at least one year prior to assistance. The dwelling must be located in one of the designated parishes and be in need of roofing assistance in accordance with the 2023 Blue Tarp Fund Roofing Repair Program.
Qualified applicants must also meet low-income requirements established by LHC Blue Tarp Fund Roofing Repair Program Grant guidelines of below eighty percent (80%) of the area median income. Owners will be required to submit income documentation, such as a pay stub or a benefits summary sheet, as well as proof of home ownership.
The grant program will provide roofing repair assistance to between 300-500 qualified applicants on a first-come, first-serve basis. LHC is an equal opportunity provider.
"We understand the devastating impact that natural disasters have had on homeowners in Louisiana," said LHC Executive Director Joshua G. Hollins. "The Blue Tarp Fund Roofing Repair Program is just one of the ways we are committed to helping our communities recover and rebuild after a disaster. We encourage eligible homeowners to apply for this program as soon as possible."
