The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program

The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP), administered by the Louisiana Department of Insurance, awards grants of up to 10,000 dollars to upgrade a roof to the IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standard. Funds are limited to construction costs and are paid directly to the contractor.

How Selection Works

Selection is by lottery. It is not first-come, first-served, and it is not income-based. Registration opens in rounds. When registration is closed, the correct move is to join the official LDI notification list and prepare your eligibility documents so you can act the moment a round opens. Confirm current status at ldi.la.gov/fortifyhomes.

Eligibility and Order of Steps

Primary residence with a homestead exemption, active wind and hail coverage, and flood coverage if the property sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Selecting a contractor or starting work before approval voids eligibility. Approval comes first, work comes second. Acadiana Roof Restoration is veteran-owned, BBB A+ accredited, IBHS FORTIFIED certified, an Owens Corning preferred contractor, Louisiana licensed (License #70583), and Louisiana's only 5-Star Roof Maxx dealer. Owner Jason Lopez is a U.S. Navy veteran and NRCIA forensic roof inspector. Call Lafayette 337-999-7663 or Baton Rouge 225-385-7663.
