Information for Homeowners


Road Home Appeals
The Citizens Road Home Action Team (CHAT) reports that calling the LRA to
reopen Road Home appeals is ineffective at this time. CHAT suggests you do
not call the LRA but instead write or email your request to the LRA and send
a copy to CHAT for the record. 
Read more about Road Home appeals and how to contact the LRA to reopen an
appeal in our Homeowners section
<http://www.louisianarebuilds.info/homeowners#road>  under "Road Home
Information and Assistance." 

Road Home Closings
The Road Home has temporarily stopped new closings.

If you are behind on mortgage payments, facing an interest rate adjustment,
or facing foreclosure, the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center
has homeownership counselors that can help.
