Build Now TALKS in Spanish
Event Description
Putting the Pieces Together: The Build Now Approach to Financing for New Construction After Hurricane Katrina
**Presented in Spanish
Are you looking to build a new home on your pre-Katrina property, but don’t have quite enough funding to do so? For many people, the deadline to use their Road Home money is approaching. If you do not use your funds within 3 years of your Road Home closing, you may have to give it back! New funding sources are available, such as the Road Home Additional Compensation Grant and reimbursement for contractor fraud through the HMGP. We will touch on numerous funding sources that may be available to you, including ICC, HMGP, Road Home Elevation Incentive, and various types of loans. Do not lose the chance to rebuild: let Build Now help you put together the financing package you need to build your new home.
Build Now TALKS events are free and open to the public, but due to space considerations we request that you pre-register for the events you wish to attend. To pre-register for any of our upcoming events, call us at (504) 324-3964 or e-mail
