Nassau Bay Home Elevation Grant Program Dena Mahan, City of Nassau Bay Jamie Galloway, City of Baytown
Beautiful Nassau Bay! A picturesque place to live, surrounded by water on 3 sides
Most homes in Nassau Bay were built in the 1960s, long before the National Flood Insurance Program, floodplain mapping, and floodplain management programs were established. After Hurricane Ike, Nassau Bay had upwards of 100 repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties. Homeowners were stuck between a rock and a hard place – they had Problem flooded and renovated numerous times, their home values were tanking (so selling would be difficult), and they couldn’t afford to mitigate on their own. Many homeowners abandoned their homes and moved elsewhere. Many of these homes were demolished by the homeowner and lots were left vacant . There were grant programs available to mitigate, but homeowners couldn’t apply on their own – their city or county had to apply.
Jamie Galloway started as Nassau Bay’s EMC in 2009 and quickly realized these homeowners needed assistance. He researched grant opportunities and spoke to homeowners about their options. In 2012, Nassau Bay applied for and was awarded a FEMA Pre- Solution Disaster Mitigation Grant on behalf of 35 homeowners. The city has received funding or is awaiting funding for four additional FEMA mitigation grants. A total of 74 elevations and 8 demolitions should be completed by the end of the 2018 grant performance period.

Benefit: Increased tax base = increased revenue for Nassau Bay The City of Nassau Bay The demolished properties will give the city Benefitted, additional green space and a fire boat launch. The boat launch will reduce the too. response time to emergencies on the water.
A deed restriction will be placed on all homes that participate in a federal elevation grant. Benefit: “This property has received Federal hazard mitigation assistance. Federal law requires that flood insurance coverage on this property must be maintained during the life of the Flood property regardless of transfer of ownership of such property. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 5154a, failure to maintain flood Insurance insurance on this property may prohibit the owner from receiving Federal disaster assistance with respect to this for Life property in the event of a flood disaster. The Property Owner is also required to maintain this property in accordance with the floodplain management criteria of 44 CFR Part 60.3 and City/County Ordinance.”
Unless you have an elevation grant specialist on staff, use a contractor to manage the grant. There are grant funds available for this cost. You need a dedicated grant manager or coordinator to work with the homeowners and manage the contractor. It takes an enormous amount of staff time to manage these Lessons grants. The grant is much easier to manage if the jurisdiction bids and selects the elevation contractors. Learned The jurisdiction should manage the residents’ funds to reduce the chance of a contractor walking off with their money. Take a FEMA Benefit Cost Analysis class. Talk to utility providers about their requirements to elevate.
