Gov. Christie Announces Additional Home Elevation Assistance
Grants are available for Little Silver and Oceanport residents whose homes are in the 100-year floodplain
By Colleen Platt
Gov. Chris Christie today announced hazard mitigation elevation assistance of up to $30,000 with no income restrictions.
Christie used a Brick setting to announce the launch of a $100 million home elevation program in the nine counties hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy.
Under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Elevation Program, eligible applicants can receive reimbursement of up to $30,000 for elevations on existing single-family homes.
Beginning Monday, eligible homeowners can apply for elevation grant assistance at www.renewjerseystronger.org or by calling 1-855-SANDYHM (1-855-726-3946).
People can also apply in person at one of the Housing Recovery Centers open in each of the nine most-impacted counties.
More information about the program can be found on the Little Silver and Oceanport borough home pages.
