Mississippi Center for Justice Deputy Director of Housing Law Ashley Richardson said there are still a lot of homeowners with blue tarps on their roofs.

“We are having a fair housing workshop; we are going to inform the community about the Fair Housing Act while also telling them about the roof program for Harrison County residents. Basically, low-income communities still have hurricane Zeta roof damages, there is money now provided through the state of Mississippi that can fix those roof damages,” Richardson said.

The program requirements also state if you have received assistance repairing your Zeta-damaged roof, that assistance must be considered when determining eligibility.

Residents who believe they meet the basic eligibility criteria are encouraged to start the eligibility process at their earliest convenience by calling 228-678-9130 or visiting Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Gulf Coast at 2214 34th Street in Gulfport.

If you want more information on qualifications the center will also be hosting a workshop this Saturday, the 16th at the JW Randolph Center in Pass Christian at 11 a.m.
