The following numbers change often, as of 9-7-2021 these are what is posted at the FEMA Louisiana Hurricane Ida DR-4611 page.

From this day forward you should have your cost of housing by percentage documented, your income tax filings to provide the information to calculate your Annual Median Income (AMI) if you are below 80% AMI or do not have an income high enough to have less than 30% of your total household income paying for housing costs (prior to disaster).

If you are between 80% and 100% AMI you should be careful to draw only the funds needed to rebuild. Do not use SBA or other lenders to make temporary repairs, these type of repairs will not qualify for any reimbursements. Temporary repairs will be funded by FEMA IA IHP grants but will be used as a duplication to other benefits if not used for temporary repairs to your home.

Unmet needs must be evaluated for cost changes throughout the rebuilding process.

By Murray Wennerlund

Your state will from time to time based on influence from your governors office elect to evaluate any increase in disaster recovery costs. Your allowance for sqft may have been 78 dollars adjusted to 87 dollars due to increase costs of materials.

By Murray Wennerlund

Louisiana has fought over the replacement costs for mobile homes for years. Reimbursement for the total amount has always been the goal but the state of Louisiana OCD-DRU has done everything to not give enough to replace MHUs for safe housing, until now.
