Speaking at a press conference held in front of a Valencia Drive residence in Brick, Gov. Christie today announced hazard mitigation elevation assistance up to $30,000 with no income restrictions. 

Christie used the Brick setting to announce the launch of a $100 million home elevation program in the nine counties hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy.

Under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Elevation Program, eligible applicants can receive reimbursement of up to $30,000 for elevations on existing primary, 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.
