Reconstruction

OVERVIEW

The Program provides a reconstruction option for homeowners to demolish their flood-damaged home and construct a new residential structure.

A homeowner may be eligible for reconstruction if they find themselves in any of the following situations:
  1. The flood-damaged home was demolished or unsafe to enter at the time of the damage assessment
  2. They received a condemnation letter or substantial damage letter from their local jurisdiction
  3. The relative percentage of the program repair estimate was greater than or equal to 80% of the reconstruction estimate
