Hurricane Sandy homeowners struggle to access $billions in Federal, State, local government, manufacturer and utility rebates and incentives. Many return to their real jobs frustrated and defeated.
I presented to a capacity crowd of 250 (would have been over 300 if we had the room) at the Mount Loretto Community Center on Staten Island. They came to learn what rebates and incentives were available for middle class homeowners so they could rebuild their homes following Hurricane Sandy.
I was glad to help them with what they didn’t know, or thought they knew. Unfortunately there was also quite a bit they couldn’t go backwards to fix.
Here are some of the most prevalent issues where greater coordination can help deliver a much better experience for homeowners both after a disaster or just dealing with the stress of home repair.
