Overview of the Homeowner program

The Road Home program – the largest single housing recovery program in U.S. history – was developed to help our residents get back into a home or apartment as quickly and fairly as possible.

Through The Road Home, eligible homeowners have three compensation options:

1. Stay in your home.
2. Purchase another home in Louisiana.
3. Sell your home and choose not to remain a homeowner in the State.

The last day to apply to The Road Home program was July 31, 2007.  If you would like to check on the status of your application please call 1.888.ROAD.2.LA (1.888.762.3252), TTY callers use 711 relay or 1.800.846.5277 or e-mail: inquiry@road2LA.org

After applying to the program, processing should take approximately six to eight weeks. Some applications may take longer, however, due to unresolved issues about titles, missing documentation, etc.

Homeowners who have additional questions that can not be answered by the Call Center are encouraged to schedule an Advisory Services appointment.

Eligible homeowners affected by Hurricane Rita or Katrina may receive up to $150,000 in compensation for your losses to get you back into your homes.

Although providing assistance to homeowners is a top priority, The Road Home also aims to restore the tens of thousands of rental units that were damaged by the storms. The Small Rental Property Program is designed to provide loans and incentive grants to property owners who operate affordable rental homes.
