Deadline approaches for next round of Louisiana’s fortified roof grants

Homeowners in South Louisiana have a tight deadline to register for a state lottery offering up to $10,000 in grants for hurricane-resistant roof upgrades before Friday’s 5 p.m. cutoff. With an estimated 3,000 grants available, this initiative aims to bolster coastal communities against future storms. The grants are crucial as they provide much-needed financial support for critical home improvements, highlighting the state's ongoing efforts to prepare for and mitigate the effects of hurricanes.
