Ascension Parish Home Elevation Program

How it works

Ascension Parish Government’s Grants Office advertises a Home Elevation Program as part of its flood and hazard mitigation work. The parish page provides a direct application link and contact information for the grants officer, indicating the parish is administering home-elevation mitigation activity for residents.

What the money covers

The linked parish materials indicate mitigation funding may be used for elevation-related work such as engineering services, a new foundation, elevation of the structure, survey and soil sampling, and utility connection. The parish’s homeowner guide also says homeowners may receive funding assistance through insurance payments, FEMA’s Increased Cost of Compliance coverage, Small Business Administration disaster loans, state/local government funds, and donated resources.

Timing and deadlines

The parish page does not state a current application window, funding amount, or whether money is currently available. It simply says “CLICK HERE TO APPLY” and provides the grants office contact for more information.

Notes for homeowners

This is flood-focused mitigation, not wildfire hardening. The parish materials reference FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program guidance rather than a parish-only cash rebate.
