Lottery Registration for Louisiana Fortify Homes Program Grants Opens February 12

Sunlight Contractors Ready to Help Homeowners Fortify Their Roofs

BATON ROUGE, LA, UNITED STATES, February 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Registration for the next round of Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) grants opens at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, February 12, and closes at 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 16. This grant offers up to $10,000 for eligible homeowners to upgrade their roofs to the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard¹, helping them protect their homes from hurricane-force winds and severe weather. As a leading provider of FORTIFIED roofing solutions in Louisiana, Sunlight Contractors² is prepared to guide homeowners through the process.

Participants will be selected using a lottery system, and only those who register during the five-day window will be eligible. Homeowners who registered in previous rounds but were not selected must register again for this round. Each registrant has an equal chance of being selected, regardless of when they register during the period.

Homeowners must create a profile in the LFHP system before registering for the lottery. This can be done by visiting the LFHP website and clicking the Login button. Once the registration period closes, 1,000 participants will be randomly selected and notified by email.

This round of grants is limited to residents of Louisiana’s Coastal Zone and the cities of Lake Charles, Sulphur, and Westlake. To determine if your home is in an eligible area, visit the Coastal Zone Map³ and enter your address in the “Find address or place” field at the top right of the page.
