Road Home sets meeting in N.O. NEW ORLEANS (AP) (wrkf) - The state plans to hold a second meeting in New Orleans on September 5 to help hurricane-affected homeowners facing deadlines under the Road Home program.

The state had previously announced a session to be held Tuesday.

Three deadlines loom: September 5, for homeowners to choose a desired benefit or provide documentation; October 1, for homeowners to schedule a closing and resolve such title, legal or other financial issues; and November 1.

That final date is for those homeowners facing the October 1 scheduling to complete their closings.

The state says extensions can be requested in all three situations.

The executive director of the Louisiana Recovery Authority says the state wants to help homeowners but that officials need to hear from them. © Copyright 2009, wrkf
