Public Outreach Notice: Seeking Information on Contractor Fraud Victims

Are you a homeowner who felt pressured or bullied by your contractor to sign off on repairs for disasters that occurred in 2020-2021?

We are investigating cases where contractors, authorized by the State of Louisiana OCD-DRU for the Restore Louisiana Homeowners Assistance Program Solution 1 Repairs, may have hired subcontractors who defrauded homeowners by not completing the Scope of Work (SOW) listed on the ECR you received.

If you have experienced incomplete or substandard repairs, or if you suspect fraudulent activity, please come forward. We aim to identify at which level of subcontracting the fraud is being committed and to ensure accountability.

Your information will be kept confidential, and your participation will help protect other homeowners and improve the integrity of the program.
