Over 140,000 Louisiana homeowners, like Gerard Braud, face soaring insurance costs after Hurricane Ida and insurer failures.
Nearly 15 years after buying his home in Mandeville, Louisiana, Gerard Braud now pays over $12,000 annually for insurance after his insurer, Lighthouse, failed in 2022.
He’s one of more than 140,000 Louisiana homeowners forced into the state’s insurer of last resort, Citizens, a 200% increase since Hurricane Ida.
Despite moving 30,000 people to private insurers, Citizens’ policy count remains far above pre-storm levels.
Experts say climate-driven hurricane risks and a strained reinsurance market make affordable insurance scarce, leaving many homeowners like Braud questioning whether they can afford to stay.
