Elevating Homes To Protect From Future Storms
What New Jersey Homeowners Need To Know About The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Elevation Program In order to protect New Jersey communities from future storms, Governor Christie today launched a $100 million grant program to assist homeowners elevate their homes. Targeted at homes in the nine counties hardest hit by Sandy, the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Elevation Program provides up to $30,000 of reimbursement for eligible homeowners to elevate their primary single-family residences. Elevation will both lower the risk of flood damage and reduce flood insurance premiums. The program is being paid for by FEMA funds.
Please see the attached press release from the Governor's
office regarding HMGP elevations. All of the information can also be

NEW FEDERAL GUIDANCE ON SANDY RECOVERY REIMBURSEMENTS 8/2/13
On July 30, 2013, the federal government issued a notice in response to the various requests from the Christie Administration to allow for reimbursement of homeowners and landlords of costs they have already undertaken to rebuild, repair and mitigate their homes, or rental properties.
The notice provides guidance to recovery programs funded by the federal government through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grants. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) will issue additional guidelines and procedures in the coming week to ensure the maximum benefit is applied to New Jersey’s Sandy-impacted households and landlords.
Eligible Housing Programs:
- Homeowner Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM): Reimbursement will now be considered for all eligible RREM applicants regardless of level of property damage.
- Landlord Rental Repair Program (LRRP): Reimbursement will now be considered for all eligible applicants of LRRP regardless of the level of property damage and regardless of the number of units.
GUIDANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS AND RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE ALREADY STARTED WORK ON THEIR PROPERTY:
- The State is still currently restricted by the federal government
on reimbursement of costs incurred after the Time of Application;
therefore, continuing with work after an application has been submitted
will likely make that work ineligible for the grant funds.
- Homeowners, landlords and businesses are advised that it is their choice to continue work; however, it is in their best interest to stop ongoing construction and repairs in order to maximize the costs that CAN be covered by the grant funds.
- This is a decision for homeowners, landlords and businesses to make, and this guidance is only to alert them of the risks associated with a decision to continue work.
- Homeowners, rental property owners and businesses that have started work are advised to keep all receipts of money spent to date on activities related to the rebuild, repair and mitigation of their property for possible reimbursement.
General Guidance from the Federal Government:
- Allows reimbursement of eligible costs as a result of Sandy that were incurred by an applicant PRIOR to the TIME OF APPLICATION.
- Reimbursement rules:
- Before any CDBG-DR funds can be provided for reimbursement to the applicant, an environmental review must be completed and cleared by the State.
- Costs must be considered within federal guidelines as “necessary and reasonable” for federal program funds.
- Limited to properties where work has been done on the same footprint as before.
Due to limited federal funding, it is unlikely that even with an additional allocation that every RREM applicant who was placed on the wait list will receive an award, even if New Jersey receives additional funds from the federal government. Therefore, those who are waitlisted should be guided by that fact as they choose whether or not to begin to repair or reconstruct their Sandy-damaged home.
March 6, 2013 Update
Residential / Commercial Debris
and Construction Material
The deadline for curb side pick
of all storm-damaged debris has passed. Pre-Sandy trash and recycling
rules are now in effect. All garbage shall be placed in dark – colored,
heavy – gauge plastic bags or metal, plastic or vinyl containers that
are designed for such purpose with handles and a tight lid. The container
shall be no more than fifty (50) gallons in volume. The lid may not
be attached in such a manner, such as tied with a rope, string or cord,
as to cause a hazard for municipal collection personnel. Garbage placed
for municipal collection shall not contain any of the designated recyclable
materials, materials resulting from demolition, construction or hazardous
waste. Recycling materials shall be place at curbside during your regularly-scheduled
recycling pick-up date. All materials resulting from demolition and
construction must be disposed of at the property owner’s expense. The
Borough will continue to accept clean beach sand. If you have not cleared
the sand from your property at this point you will need to contact the
Department of Public Works. The Department will inspect and provide
guidance on the sand removal and/or disposal on a case by case basis.

Repairs to Substantially Damaged Structures If your home or business incurred damage, the Construction Department will need to determine if your structure has been substantially damaged. Substantially damaged means the cost to make your necessary repairs will meet or exceed 50% of the value of the structure. In Lavallette, we use the assessed value to make that determination. If you structure is substantially damaged, you may qualify for additional insurance money through the FEMA Increased Cost of Compliance Program (ICC). A form is attached for your reference
and will need to be completed and submitted to the Construction
Code Official in order for him to make the determination. Substantial
Damage Form Caution should be exercised when submitting this form. If a determination is made that your property did sustain substantial damage (50% or more) you will be required, along with the other needed repairs, to raise the structure in compliance with the Borough’s flood hazard ordinance. Also provided is a brochure relating
to the FEMA’s Cost of Compliance Program (ICC). ICC
