Pilot Summary
The FIMP study identified over 4,000structures in the 10-year floodplain as potentially eligible for elevation. Of these, 245 structures are in the pilot area. Homeowners are eligible for the Pilot if their home is identified in the 10-year floodplain, and not already elevated. Homes that have previously been elevated or received grant money for elevation by another federal agency are not eligible. USACE will conduct initial outreach to determine eligibility. “Nonstructural” is a term used nationally by USACE to refer to home elevations, flood-proofing and home acquisitions. Under this project, the term “nonstructural” primarily refers to home elevations. Home acquisitions represent a small percentage of project and those homeowners identified for acquisition have been contacted individually.
Although the pilot program date has passed, you can still register your home for eligibility when the program continues after the pilot program is completed. Click on the link below for more details and eligibility.
