Louisiana Department of Insurance

Homeowners interested in the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program should be aware of key eligibility and application details. To qualify, the property must be the homeowner’s primary residence with a homestead exemption, and must not be a new construction, condominium, mobile home, or have a dry-stack foundation without an approved retrofit. Required documentation includes proof of residential insurance with wind coverage and, if applicable, flood insurance for homes in FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas. Additionally, the home must be in good repair as assessed by a FORTIFIED™ Evaluator, and all work must meet the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard with costs managed by the homeowner; grant funds are paid directly to contractors and are restricted to construction costs.
