Most homeowners’ insurance does not cover flood damage. But flood insurance is too expensive for many people to afford, especially those experiencing cost burdens. HUD defines “cost-burdened” families as those “who pay more than 30% of their income for housing.” Learn ways you can pay less for coverage: https://www.floodsmart.gov/how-can-i-pay-less. They include rallying your neighbors to enroll in the Community Rating System (CRS).
