We are partners that stand behind FEMA\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/about\/strategic-plan\/goal-1\">equity<\/a> <\/span><\/span>goals and are uniquely positioned to help identify the invisible roadblocks that Louisianans are experiencing as they try to access assistance. Due to our intimate knowledge of the barriers to recovery, we know nothing will go further to producing equitable outcomes among the people of our state than an extension of the IHP period of assistance and appeals deadline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louisianans have faced significant barriers to applying for assistance since Hurricane Ida for a variety of reasons, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2021, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/library\/publications\/2022\/acs\/acsbr22-014.pdf\">Louisiana\u2019s poverty rate<\/a> <\/span><\/span>was the highest in the nation at 19.65%.<\/li>\n<li>The remote, rural areas that Hurricane Ida hit have low educational attainment levels.<\/li>\n<li>FEMA relies heavily on written correspondence, which directly impacts Louisianans\u2019 ability to access disaster assistance in a state with a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #138a43;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkimpact.com\/literacy-statistics\/\">literacy rate<\/a><\/span> of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #138a43;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/state-rankings\/us-literacy-rates-by-state\">84%<\/a><\/span> in 2023.<\/li>\n<li>Providing the necessary FEMA documentation requires adults to be technology-proficient in areas without broadband access, which prevents rural residents, older adults, people with disabilities, people with limited English proficiency, low-income households and others &#8211; from acting in their own best interest.<\/li>\n<li>Survivors must fax information to National Processing Service Centers or upload it into FEMA\u2019s antiquated NEMIS system, which makes documents illegible due to excessive pixelization. This triggers repeated requests for documents that survivors think they have submitted (which were legible on their end).<\/li>\n<li>Homeownership documentation was destroyed in the storm or is lacking due to heirship property issues which take time and legal assistance to resolve.<\/li>\n<li>There is a <strong><em><u>severe <\/u><\/em><\/strong>lack of contractors to provide the estimates that are required for homeowners to submit appeals.<\/li>\n<li>The COVID-19 pandemic prevented FEMA inspectors from entering people&#8217;s homes, resulting in inaccurate damage assessments and the need for a second inspection.<\/li>\n<li>The closure of Disaster Recovery Centers in Louisiana on February 25, 2022, made it more difficult for survivors to get the help they needed when applying for assistance.<\/li>\n<li>Many homeowners still have unresolved insurance claims and cannot submit settlement documentation and declaration pages to receive FEMA awards.<\/li>\n<li>The Restore Louisiana Homeowner Assistance Program recently began processing applications. To be eligible, applicants must have received either $8,000 in home repair funds or $3,500 in personal property assistance from FEMA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because FEMA has not provided the public with formal written notice of the deadline through the media, Louisianans are not ready for the cessation of IHP financial assistance or the loss of their ability to appeal previous FEMA decisions denying them assistance. Without a deadline extension, Hurricane Ida survivors will experience <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #138a43;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/unitedforalice.org\/louisiana\">growing levels of financial instability<\/a><\/span>, making Louisiana and its residents even more vulnerable to future storms.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, on Jan. 24, 2023, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #138a43;\"><a style=\"color: #138a43; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/press-release\/20230124\/fema-individual-assistance-appeal-deadline-approaching-march-10-2023#:~:text=FEMA%20Individual%20Assistance%20Appeal%20Deadline,Survivors%20in%20Pennsylvania%20%7C%20FEMA.gov\">FEMA published a press release<\/a><\/span> identifying the March 10, 2023, deadline for Hurricane Ida survivors in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>A 90-day extension beyond the Feb. 28, 2023 deadline would allow survivors time to obtain FEMA resources which are required to be eligible for the Restore Louisiana Program. An inability to appeal FEMA decisions not only prevents access to FEMA assistance but will also bar access to the state\u2019s housing recovery program.<\/p>\n<p>We are grateful the Governor\u2019s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) shares our common desire to change negative recovery outcomes that disproportionately affect underserved communities.

We stand with our state officials in support of their equity goals and we seek a different outcome for Ida\u2019s request &#8211; one that extends the deadline by at least 90 days.
