	In other words, Craig, if the home was built in 1977 and had under
50%
	damage, then the home is in compliance and doesn't need additional
raising.
	And if it has OVER 50%, what happens next?
	

Response: "I think if it 's over 50% you would need to raise it, for people
that are able to do the work themselves. It would be much easier and cheaper
to try and have the house re assess at a lower % of damage. Now if you are
in need of the LRA help with the funding it would be to your advantage to
have it rated in a higher  %. This is my understanding please correct me if
I am wrong. --Sue"

**Thanks. Sure, how can we TRY and have the house reassessed to UNDER 50%
(as to benefit us who wish to avoid having it raised) ..IF what some of us
really need is to have it above 50% in order to get necessary funding IF we
wish to have an option to rebuild away from the present location to
elsewhere in the parish/away from parish? 

If we have UNDER 50% and want to stay in the same spot, we benefit by being
grandfathered IN, avoid having to elevate homes, but with LRA, it appears
they want homeowners to stay and rebuild the structure (mandatory?). If we
have OVER 50%, the LRA helps kick in to support a relocation to $150,000?
Can anyone clarify/certify if this logic sounds ok? thanks
