Strong Homes Initiative

In our ongoing commitment to safeguarding communities and enhancing disaster preparedness, we've launched a transformative program aimed at fortifying homes against the threats of natural disasters. 

Our Initiative is specially designed to assist ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and low-income working families, ensuring their residences are prepared and resilient against the challenges posed by high winds and heavy rains. Here, you'll find comprehensive details on how to apply for assistance, eligibility criteria and how this Initiative makes a tangible difference in the community. We invite you to explore how the Strong Homes Initiative is actively working toward a safer, more secure future for all residents in Southwest Louisiana.
