Ascension Parish Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) homeowner mitigation

How it works

Ascension Parish’s homeowner guide says there may not be an open grant at a given time, but homeowners in the parish can submit information to the grants office for future consideration. The parish says someone from the office will request additional information after receiving the submission, and that the process is not quick and can take several years.

What the money covers

The parish’s HMGP materials tie the program to FEMA hazard-mitigation funding. The guide says HMGP funding is tied to presidential disaster declarations and is intended to reduce risk of loss of life and property from future disasters. The parish materials also say the program can fund acquisition, elevation, and relocation mitigation actions through its homeowner worksheet and project materials.

Timing and deadlines

The parish states there may be no open grant at times. Homeowners may still submit information for future consideration, but the parish warns that the process can take several years.

Notes for homeowners

The parish guide frames HMGP as a flood/disaster mitigation program, not a wildfire-specific home-hardening rebate. The official parish page is sparse, so most operational detail is only visible in the parish’s mitigation program PDF and linked homeowner materials.
