The funding is made available through the major disaster declaration for Hurricane Laura (DR-4559-LA), which Congressman Higgins supported. The reimbursements include: $1,662,517.46 to the Southwest Louisiana Hospital Association for repairs to the Women’s Hospital power plant as a result of Hurricane Laura. The reimbursement is made at a 90% federal cost-share and authorized under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Act. $1,829,614.99 to the Southwest Louisiana Hospital Association for repairs to the Women’s Hospital as a result of Hurricane Laura. The reimbursement is made at a 90% federal cost-share and authorized under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Act. $1,078,594.79 to the Calcasieu Parish School Board for permanent repairs to the EK Key Elementary School campus following Hurricane Laura.

Much of our official Congressional work to advance recovery projects occurs behind the scenes. Funding finalization and the associated formal announcement of funding are the result of constant efforts over many months with FEMA and state and local stakeholders. All funding will be delivered to the State of Louisiana. The state is responsible for disbursing the funds to each sub-recipient.
