The My Safe Florida Home Program is NOW OPEN!

The State Legislature allocated $150 million for hurricane mitigation inspections and retrofit grants for Florida single family homeowners to help save money on insurance. We encourage you to take advantage of this valuable program.

Apply for the matching $10,000 Grant and for the FREE home mitigation inspection.

How do I calculate my matching reimbursement amount?
According to Florida Statute 215.5586, 2(b), “All grants must be matched on the basis of $1 provided by the applicant for $2 provided by the state up to a maximum state contribution of $10,000 toward the actual cost of the mitigation project.” In other words, the homeowner must contribute funds equal to 1/3 of the cost of the project toward the project to be reimbursed for the remaining 2/3’s up to a maximum state contribution of $10,000.

For example, if an applicant were to pay $15,000 for new impact-rated windows, their required contribution would be $5,000, and the state’s contribution would be equal to the maximum grant amount of $10,000. If the windows cost $9,000, the applicant would pay $3,000 and would receive a state-matched Reimbursement of $6,000. If the windows cost more than $15,000, the applicant would still only receive $10,000, as that is the maximum matching reimbursement amount.

Matching Grants are only dispersed AFTER the work has been completed by an approved Program Contractor, the work has been re-inspected by the Program, and payment has been made in full for the work by the homeowner.

As last season taught us, right now is the time to upgrade your home against hurricanes.
