First Responder Program can get up to $5000.00 in a grant. They do not have to be a “first responder” just as long as they are an active employee of first responder, education or medical fields.

The ISP Grant, they can get up to $4000.00 in a grant. If they are in a low to moderate area, they can receive $2000.00 and if their income is low to moderate (52,560 and under) they can get another $2000.00 which would equal $4000.00. These two grants are from Iberia Bank solely and are for Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish and St Tammany Parish. Must be their primary residence and have 620 credit score or above.
