Rep. Joe Courtney, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Sen. Chris Murphy and Rep. John Larson released letters on Wednesday that were sent jointly to Connecticut insurers regarding relief efforts for homeowners facing crumbling foundations.

The members met with Liberty Mutual, State Farm and All State on July 12 to reiterate the urgency of the issue and urge their participation in the Crumbling Concrete Assistance Program. The program is the attorney general’s proposal to aid affected homeowners with some compensation. The members also sent a separate letter to The Hartford and Travelers to thank them for joining the effort.

“Repair costs for this problem are often in excess of $150,000, a significant financial burden for people who are either retired or are still paying off their mortgages,” the letter states.

The AG recently announced that the evidence for a legal case on the crumbling foundations was doubtful.

“The urgency of this problem is clear. Failure to enact a workable plan to provide relief will have a lasting impact not just on homeowners and communities, but on all those connected to the housing market, including insurers. We hope that your company will be a constructive and collaborative part of making this plan work in order to provide needed relief to your customers, their neighbors and our communities,” the members wrote in the letter.

The letters in full are available on Murphy’s website.
