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/2025-08-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.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-10-application-deadline-extended/Fri, 20 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-10-application-deadline-extended/On October 19, the Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program announced an extension of the application deadline to Tuesday, October 31, 2023. The extension is aimed at approximately 6,500 homeowners who completed the initial survey but haven’t yet submitted the full application. The official announcement is on the program’s news page: Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program Extends Application Deadline to Tuesday, Oct. 31. Local coverage from KPLC summarized the announcement the same day.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-07-survey-deadline-approaching/Wed, 12 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-07-survey-deadline-approaching/If you’re a Louisiana homeowner with unrepaired damage from Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta, Ida, or the May 2021 severe storms, and you haven’t completed the Restore Louisiana initial survey — do it this week. The state has set August 1, 2023 as the deadline to complete the initial survey for 2020-21 disaster events. The survey 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 Solution 1 or Solution 2 project.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-05-restore-louisiana-expands-eligibility/Thu, 18 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2023-05-restore-louisiana-expands-eligibility/This week, Governor John Bel Edwards announced a meaningful expansion of eligibility for the Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program. The changes open the program up to homeowners who didn’t qualify under the original criteria — particularly those with lower damage amounts and those who received larger insurance settlements. If you filed and were told you didn’t qualify — or if you never filed because you assumed you didn’t — now is the time to re-check.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2022-04-solution-1-vs-solution-2/Thu, 14 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2022-04-solution-1-vs-solution-2/We’ve been getting the same question from homeowners all week: “I’m in the Restore Louisiana program. How do I decide between Solution 1 and Solution 2?” There’s no universal right answer, but there’s a framework that makes it obvious for most people. The short version Solution 1 is program-managed construction. The state selects a pool of contractors, assigns the work, and runs the project from scope through sign-off. You’re less in the driver’s seat and the process moves on the program’s schedule.https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2022-02-restore-louisiana-launches-for-2020-21-homeowners/Tue, 22 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://adamsindustriesllc.com/blog/2022-02-restore-louisiana-launches-for-2020-21-homeowners/After nearly eighteen months of waiting, the Louisiana Office of Community Development opened the doors this month on the next phase of the Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program. The phase is aimed at owner-occupied homes damaged by Hurricanes Laura and Delta (2020), Hurricane Zeta (2020), Hurricane Ida (2021), and the May 2021 severe storms. For anyone who’s been living under a tarp for a year and change, this is the federal money catching up to the damage.
