Louisiana Homeowners Have Final Hours To Register For Fortified Roof Grants Jefferson Parish Residents Are Eligible For 50% More

(MENAFN- GetNews) Certified Fortified Roofer Lone Wolf Roofing is helping the residents of Louisiana to maximize grant benefits.

Louisiana homeowners have less than 24 hours remaining to register for the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) grants worth up to $10,000, with Jefferson Parish residents eligible for an additional $5,000 through the Roof Enhancement Lottery Incentive Fund (R.E.L.I.F.), bringing their total potential assistance to $15,000. The registration deadline is today, Friday, September 12, 2025, at 5:00 PM.

Record-Breaking Grant Opportunity for Storm-Resistant Roofing

The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program, administered by the Louisiana Department of Insurance, offers grants of up to $10,000 to help homeowners upgrade to FORTIFIED roofing systems that meet the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) standards. These hurricane-resistant roofing systems have been proven to reduce insurance premiums by an average of 22 percent while significantly improving a home's ability to withstand severe weather.

Jefferson Parish residents benefit from an unprecedented funding opportunity. Through the newly established R.E.L.I.F. program, Jefferson Parish homeowners who win the state lottery and whose fortified roof installation costs exceed $10,000 may qualify for up to $5,000 in additional "gap funding" to cover costs beyond the state grant.

Critical Licensing Changes Affect Contractor Selection

Recent changes in Louisiana law have made it essential for homeowners to select properly licensed contractors for FORTIFIED roof installations. Home improvement licenses are no longer sufficient for fortified roofing work. Contractors must hold appropriate roofing licenses, or the FORTIFIED certificate will not be issued, potentially invalidating the entire grant.
