Homeowner Responsibilities

Homeowners who have an open insurance claim or had a claim for the repair or replacement of the roof must disclose the claim information during the grant process.

Grant funds are paid directly to contractors.  Homeowners are financially responsible for all costs beyond the full grant amount. Homeowners are also responsible for paying evaluation fees for the entire evaluation process according to prices set by the Evaluator.

Homeowners applying for a grant should wait to see if they are selected to participate before contacting an Evaluator or Contractor as the process for selecting professionals is managed through the LFHP grant program. Homeowners who select a Contractor and begin work on the project before receiving approval from the LFHP are not eligible for the program.

Homeowners must ensure that their Contractor understands the procedures and requirements of the Program. The Homeowner should review their Initial Pre-Site Inspection Report with their selected Contractor.

Homeowners must ensure Contractors receive all applicable building permits from the local building inspector’s office.
