The Road Home program is designed to help residents of Louisiana affected by
hurricanes Katrina or Rita get back into their homes as quickly and fairly
as possible. This groundbreaking program represents the largest single
housing recovery program in U.S. history. Working together, Gov. Kathleen
Babineaux Blanco, the Louisiana Recovery Authority and the Office of
Community Development created The Road Home program with the approval of the
Louisiana Legislature. The program affords eligible homeowners up to
$150,000 in compensation for their losses to get back into their homes. 

The Road Home program is designed to provide compensation to Louisiana
homeowners affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita for the damage to their
homes.
