Calcasieu Parish Residential Mitigation Grant / FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance home elevation and acquisition program

How it works

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s Division of Planning and Development prepares and submits FEMA grant applications for two kinds of residential mitigation work: elevating flood-prone homes and acquiring flood-prone homes. The parish describes this as part of FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Assistance program.

The parish also has a separate page for its Residential Mitigation Grant and says homeowners who want to know whether their property may qualify can complete the parish’s homeowner questionnaire and return it to the office.

What the money covers

The official page specifically names:

• Elevation of flood-prone residential structures
• Acquisition of flood-prone residential structures

The parish page does not state a dollar cap on the homeowner page itself.

Amounts and matching

• No homeowner-facing amount is stated on the official page.
• No matching requirement is stated on the official page.
• The parish notes that eligibility is not based on income.

How to apply

Homeowners interested in having their property reviewed are directed to complete the parish form and return it by email, mail, or drop-off to the Engineering & Public Works office.

Timing and deadlines

• The page does not list an application deadline.
• The page does not state whether the program is currently open or whether funding is exhausted.
• The parish says it routinely prepares and submits FEMA applications, but the homeowner-facing page does not provide a current round date.
