BATON ROUGE, La. — A state initiative is giving Louisiana families a second chance at safe and stable housing. The Blue Tarp Program, launched by the Louisiana Housing Corporation, is helping residents repair storm-damaged roofs, offering financial relief and restoring peace of mind.

For Baton Rouge resident Earline Jackson, the program has been life-changing.

“I heard a bang in the night and it scared me. I thought someone was breaking in and it turns out that the roof had fallen in,” Jackson said.

After years of struggling to afford repairs, her daughter helped her apply for the program. The Blue Tarp Program provides up to $15,000 in grant funding to fix damaged roofs for eligible homeowners.
