Hurricane Katrina Homeowner's Grant Program
The Hurricane Katrina Homeowner's Grant Program is designed to provide financial assistance to those homeowners outside the flood plain whose homeowner's insurance did not cover structural flood damage. Single-family homes, owner-occupied duplexes and manufactured housing including mobile homes are eligible for grants under this program. For more information about this program, please click here.

The Online Application is no longer available for the Homeonwner's Assistance Grant Program. All application status updates will be sent via U.S. mail. Your application status will not be updated through the e-Grants site.

The Public Housing Program Action Plan details the process and procedures for the administration of funds available to the five Mississippi Gulf Coast Housing Authorities in Jackson, Hancock and Harrison Counties that suffered damage as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
