For more than 561 days (June 16, 2017) a small group of independent contractors within the Restore La Homeowners Program Solution 2 Reconstruction have changed rules and policy so much that homeowners have questioned their ability to manage.

Our research discovered the Restore La Program controlled by IEM and with little oversight from the state of Louisiana OCD-DRU controlled by Governor John Bel Edwards did hired via IEM Inc incompetent independent contractors and self employed temporary workers to; "Handle" homeowners instead of manage recovery efforts.

If you know a Solution 2 Reconstruction homeowner we are asking that you refer them to us, we have a small group that is not taking the incompetence of IEM temporary hires anymore. We demand ethical standards and non bias contractors that do not single out homeowners and refuse information to those same homeowners. Unwarranted delays and additional financial debt is the only clearly identifiable management path that IEM has been successful at.
This coming year, 2019 will tell the homeowners story as compared to those claiming to be disaster management experts.

We no longer accept the "It's complicated" excuse for program misconduct.
