If you are a homeowner that applied for and was approved for a Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan, please know that Governor Edwards and the Office of Community Development continues to fight to provide some relief as it relates to your Duplication of Benefit (DOB) calculation. While we will continue to work with Louisiana’s Congressional Delegation and leaders of Congress to address this issue, we are required to proceed with our program given the current rules and regulations.
Please note that if SBA has performed a new underwriting of your loan and determined the approved amount has decreased or has been fully cancelled due to a change in circumstances (e.g. loss or change of job, death of co-applicant, etc.), you may submit a letter from SBA detailing their determination of the revised loan amount to the Restore Louisiana Program. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to contact SBA to request another underwriting and determination of eligible SBA assistance. If so, the Program will then recalculate your final grant amount based on your updated SBA award. Please note, that a homeowner’s request to reduce their SBA loan amount without a revised determination issued by SBA will not result in a re-evaluation of your Restore award.

Sincerely,
The Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program
