- 5. Why Lift Your House Most common answer – “ My Flood Insurance is too high” If you are below the BFE, your insurance is going to continue to rise until you do something. Abandoning lowest floor - Practical for houses built atop a garage or a basement. Move living space and utilities up. Flood proofing – installing the proper vents and fill to bring home into compliance. Lifting your House – elevate atop a new foundation above the base flood elevation + freeboard Building Code requires it due to Substantial Improvement As communities adopt the FEMA Flood maps, Building Codes require homes receiving substantial improvement renovations (50% over 10 years) to be in total compliance. Even if you are above the old BFE, your town might have adopted a new freeboard atop the BFE. Improve your Home Elevating an existing structure allows for you to maintain your set backs, increase your usable space of the home, and keep property taxes lower than tearing down to rebuild. Get out of harms way The 100 year storm doesn’t happen once every hundred years. Look at Super Storm Sandy and Winter Storm Jonas. Just check out the Ocean City, NJ Flooding Facebook Group.

- 15. The Costs Incurred in Lifting your House Each Project is Different. There are thousands of upgrades and items that can be added and removed from the scope but I have found over the course of time the following square foot numbers seem to be common for lifting a house to the base flood elevation (most cases 6-7 feet) and basic pressure treated decking. Crawlspace Homes on average cost $140-160 per square foot No need for interior work. Basement Homes on average cost $160-180 per square foot A basement needs to be filled back in and most times there are utilities being relocated Slab on Grade Homes on average cost $180-200+ per square foot This is due to the first floor being gutted. Kitchens, bathrooms, utilitiy rooms need to all be replaced. A new flooring system built and flooring put in. New paint, new insulation, new drywall.
- 16. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY AFFORD THIS? There are FHA Loans and 203K Loans available for this kind of work. Locally – Ocean First Bank – Wells Fargo – Citizens Bank National Mortgage Carriers – Homebridge Financial Services There are also grants available through FEMA
- 17. FEMA Grants The Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program Funded by the National Flood Insurance Program $160 Million Dollars Annually – Hopefully more soon!

- 18. FEMA Grants – How do They Work? Your community needs to be a participating member of the National Flood Insurance Program The grant is competitive across the country so a well thought out application is developed The more SRL and RL Properties, the better Still leaves the door open for substantially damaged homes that are nor RL or SRL The town or county will typically hire a grant writer to apply on their behalf The grant applicant fills out a voluntary interest form, provides their NFIP claim history, provides a turn key estimate from a contractor as well as the means and methods of lifting THIS GRANT IS A REIMBURSEMENT GRANT – You will need to get financing to do this SRL will get 100% of eligible costs reimbursed RL will get 90% of eligible costs reimbursed Substantial Damage only homes will get 75% of eligible costs reimbursed
- 19. Eligible Costs vs Ineligible Costs The Flood Mitigation Assistance Grant Program The most basic definition – what is necessary for the lift and certificate of occupancy vs what is extra Eligible – Lifting your house high enough to be above the base flood elevation Ineligible – adding a garage door and 4 inch slab to park under the home Eligible – lifting an existing deck or replacing the deck with a landing and stairs Ineligible – building a 600 square foot AZEK deck to watch the Nights in Venice boats sail by FEMA holds all the money until the end so they are in control. If you are questioning whether siding the whole house is actually needed, its best to ask your project manager with the grant.
