If you suffered substantial damage to your property from Hurricane Laura, funding may become available to mitigate structures in Cameron Parish through the FEMA-funded Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
The Parish is in the early stages of applying for long-term recovery funds which, if awarded, may not be available to property owners until the last quarter of 2021. All substantially damaged properties will be required to bring their home into compliance with flood zone regulations through the permit process — either through elevating existing structures or rebuilding at higher elevation levels. It is our hope that HMGP funds will ease to burden of elevating or rebuilding homes throughout our community.
