Dear FoCHAT Members, 

News
Items 

1. Elevation Issues: HMGP house elevation re-imbursement funding
for RH applicants (maybe increasing, so be sure to apply and check your
eligibility); extension of ICC deadline 

2. Some insightful information about Road Home Rules in ICF
audit procedure 

3. Drywall problems 

4. Next CHAT meeting 

   

Elevation Grants 

There are two
type of elevation grants for eligible Road Home applicants:  

·        
RH
elevation incentive, $30,000 but total RH grant plus RH elevation incentive
cannot be more than $150,000. No receipts are necessary. 

  

·        
The
other kind is HMGP elevation funding up to $30,000 but it may be increased very
much according to several reports.  This
one is not capped by the amount of the RH grant but you do have to show
receipts, building plans, building permits, and you have to have costs that
were not covered by ICC or RH elevation. This is a reimbursement program (half
when you are halfway through and the rest when you finish (for elevating a
pre-storm house) or when you get a certificate of occupancy (for building a new
house and elevating it). The new house can’t be more than 10% larger in square
footage of the occupied area than the pre-storm house. See chatushome.com for
more important details. If you are building a new house and elevating it, then
it is the total house expense minus insurance benefits and RH money that is
used for calculation. They will even reimburse for an elevator if you have
a doctor's note.  

 We think
it is not too late to ask for a form for HMGP or to follow up with the state if
you did send it your form.

and cc yourself. You could just copy this. 

  

Dear Sir or Madam, 

 Please tell me if my HMGP grant eligibility has been determined.

FEMA extends deadline for home elevation reimbursement (through ICC which you get by contacting your home insurance
provider if you had flood insurance in 2005) 

by David Hammer, The Times-Picayune  

http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2009/03/fema_extends_deadline_for_home.html 

  

FEMA has agreed to extend to 2012 a
looming deadline for homeowners who want to collect flood insurance money set
aside for elevating and storm-proofing their houses. 

Because of the slow flow of other
federal money, such as Road Home grants, FEMA had already pushed back the
deadline for home-raising work under the National Flood Insurance Program's
Increased Cost of Compliance provision. 

   

   

   

RH Audit Procedures 

I have still pending items for public records requests from
the LRA but one item that I received may be of interest to you. I will post the
whole PDF at our website when I get a chance. For now, here is an extract of
the parts that might be of most use to some of you. I think that this is the
review (audit) that ICF is doing on all files to examine if all the needed
documents are present with no glaring contradictions. Some of you are being
asked to resend documents that you sent before. This is probably because ICF
during the review found that documents were missing (lost).

Next, the Louisiana Legislative Auditor is reviewing a small
percentage of these files for accuracy (although several critical measures of
accuracy are not part of their review). Some of you have been told that you
will get more money after closing without be in appeals and without any
description of why. This is probably because of Legislative Auditor found RH
shortchanging mistakes. 



Please do not send us questions about this document because
we do not have the time or resources to respond (and, in many cases, we won’t
have the answers).
