You’ve selected a contractor. You signed the grant agreement. Today is your grant execution date, and three clocks just started running. This is the post about those clocks. Specifically: 180 days to begin construction with at least one inspection on record Up to five progress-based draws through the life of the project 365 days to complete the project, unless a written hardship extension is approved If you understand these three, you can read the program timeline.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2026-02-choosing-your-francine-solution-2-contractor/Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2026-02-choosing-your-francine-solution-2-contractor/You have an award letter from the Hurricane Francine Homeowner Assistance Program. You have your Estimated Cost of Repairs. You’re choosing the contractor-managed path (the state’s term for it is Solution 2), which means you pick the contractor. Now you’re looking at proposals from people offering to do the work. This is the post for that moment. What the program verifies, what you should verify, and the questions worth asking before you sign a contract.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-12-francine-damage-assessment-what-to-expect/Tue, 09 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-12-francine-damage-assessment-what-to-expect/The Hurricane Francine application is in. Eligibility has been reviewed. The next milestone for homeowners moving through the program is the damage and lead assessment, the on-site visit that produces your home’s Estimated Cost of Repairs. This is the step that sets the budget for everything that follows. If you’re planning to pick your own contractor under the program’s contractor-managed path (Solution 2 in the program’s terminology), the ECR is what your contractor’s scope of work has to fall inside.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-10-adams-industries-joins-francine-solution-2/Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-10-adams-industries-joins-francine-solution-2/We’re confirming what some of you have asked about already: Adams Industries is a participating contractor for the Hurricane Francine Homeowner Assistance Program (RLHP-24) and appears on the official Hurricane Francine Solution 2 Contractors roster at restore.la.gov. This is the same arrangement we had for the 2020-21 Restore Louisiana program (Laura, Delta, Zeta, Ida, May 2021 storms), now extended to the Francine program. Same license, same insurance, same crew, same Baton Rouge phone number.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-08-after-the-francine-survey-environmental-review/Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-08-after-the-francine-survey-environmental-review/The Hurricane Francine program survey closed June 30, 2025. If you submitted before that date, you’re in the pool the state is now working through. The next step on the homeowner timeline is the environmental review, and it’s the step that confuses people because it doesn’t involve them doing anything. Here’s what’s happening, why, and where you can expect to be in the queue. What the environmental review is The environmental review is a federal requirement that comes with any project funded by HUD’s Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) dollars.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-06-francine-survey-deadline-june-30/Mon, 16 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-06-francine-survey-deadline-june-30/If you sustained damage from Hurricane Francine and you live in one of the nine declared parishes, the Restore Louisiana program survey deadline is June 30, 2025. That is the gateway to everything else in the program. Without it, you can’t be invited to apply, which means you can’t be awarded funds, which means no recovery project — neither the state-managed Solution 1 path nor the contractor-managed Solution 2 path.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-05-hurricane-francine-recovery-what-we-know/Thu, 08 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2025-05-hurricane-francine-recovery-what-we-know/Hurricane Francine made landfall on September 11, 2024 as a Category 2 storm, crossing Louisiana’s coast and pushing inland through the bayou parishes. President Biden declared a major disaster (DR-4817-LA) five days later. Eight months on, the federal recovery dollars are committed, the state’s action plan is approved, and the Restore Louisiana program is taking surveys from homeowners in the affected parishes. This is the first in a series of posts we’ll be writing on Francine recovery.
