Denise,
I was told by my HGMP person (Ann) that we have been denied because of duplicate of benefits. That the calculation for FEMA reimbursement was between $84 and $92 a sqft. I explained to her that I would love to know what contractor would be willing to build a house to the BFE level for that price. It is unrealistic to think that could happen. She explained to me that many in her office had agreed and that 95% of the applicants would not qualify for the rebuilding portion of the HGMP. I did ask her where the people where located that did qualify for either the elevation or rebuilding program. Some homeowners in Kenner had made the cut. Did Kenner flood? I know that we are not entitled to anything of course, but my family was one of the pioneers. We couldn't get workers to build our house fast enough. Not to mention how much they were charging. After working on this grant program since April, I just have washed my hands of it. Good luck with yours. Let me know.
