How often can the homeowner request assistance?
Each issue can be addressed one time per fiscal year. However, if a homeowner is cited a second time within the fiscal year for a different issue, STOMP can return to assist that client for this new issue.
STOMP can return in subsequent fiscal years for an issue previously resolved, provided that the homeowner has taken steps in between.
