Boustany Fights to Keep Flood Insurance Rates Affordable for South Louisiana

Washington, DC – September 13, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Congressman Charles W. Boustany, Jr., M.D., (R-South Louisiana) issued the following statement after supporting legislation H.R. 3013, the Home Protection Act of 2013, seeking to keep flood insurance rates affordable for the residents of South Louisiana:

“The Home Protection Act of 2013 seeks to keep flood insurance rates affordable for residents of South Louisiana. With rates for homeowners and businesses set to unfairly skyrocket in the near future, this legislation delays the phase out of grandfathered flood insurance rates. Until the National Flood Insurance Program develops a long-term solution fair for all stakeholders and communities in low-lying areas, I will continue fighting on behalf of the residents of South Louisiana.”
