On Tuesday, June 21 at 3 p.m., the Louisiana Office of Community Development will host a virtual public hearing  to gather comments on an action plan amendment to spend $1.27 billion in allocated funding for Hurricane Ida recovery efforts. The amendment also includes an additional allocation of $450 million for Hurricanes Laura and Delta, bringing the total for these two storms to more than $2.25 billion.

The 30-day public comment period closes at 5 p.m. Thursday, June 30.

The public comment period is an opportunity for the state to ensure that long-awaited recovery programs align with community needs, and we look forward to engaging with residents across the state. We would appreciate any assistance in sharing this information on your respective media channels to help reach as many impacted residents as possible and make them aware of this upcoming virtual meeting.
