Louisiana homeowners now have the chance to get up to $10,000 in free grants through the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program. Established to support residents to upgrade and weatherproof their roofs, the program minimizes insurance costs and safeguard residences from hurricanes, hail, and high winds. Grants span construction charges and are exempt from state income tax. Projects that must meet FORTIFIED Roof Standards are reinforced shingles, sealed decks, and stronger edges.
