Louisiana today released a solicitation for proposals to coastal organizations with the capacity to provide community-based assistance with the BP claims process and other government or philanthropic support programs to individuals and businesses in the impacted coastal region.
The state will select up to 15 organizations to provide education on the claims process, as well as assist individuals and businesses in analyzing and preparing needed documentation for claims.
"The state wants to address what we see as a great need to assist claimants with proving the net worth of their assets, loss of business and actual damage in order to successfully recoup losses due to the oil spill," said Louisiana Department of Social Services (DSS) Secretary Kristy Nichols. "Additionally, the technical assistance providers will advise [the state] on how to simplify and strengthen the claims process."
Technical assistance providers will be announced in July and will be funded by $2 million granted to the state by BP. Technical Assistance Provider solicitations must be received by July 2, 2010, at 8:00 a.m. Click here to view the full solicitation.
