Phase II - Housing Needs Assistance Program
Mississippi Development Authority is moving forward with applications for the Katrina Homeowner Grant program that was authorized by the federal government and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A copy of the Revised Phase II Action Plan can be viewed by clicking here.  Clarification for Phase II may be found in Technical Modification 7. This Phase II is a housing needs program to provide compensation and advisory services to homeowners, who suffered storm surge damage to their primary residence as of August 29, 2005, from Hurricane Katrina. 

Under this program, homeowners may receive funding up to a maximum of $100,000 to fill the gap between the cost to rebuild/repair and the homeowner’s ability to pay.  In addition, an elevation grant of up to $30,000 may be offered to eligible applicants who meet program requirements.   

The deadline to apply for Phase I of the Homeowner Assistance Program has passed as of March 15, 2008. We are no longer accepting applications for this program.
