New program
Alabama pays up to $10,000 toward a storm-rated roof in coastal counties
Strengthen Alabama Homes is run by the Alabama Department of Insurance. It pays up to $10,000 toward a storm-rated (FORTIFIED) roof on an owner-occupied single-family home. No rentals, condos or mobile homes. It started in Mobile and Baldwin counties and added Jefferson, Tuscaloosa and Escambia County, Alabama, in November 2025. That is not Florida's Escambia County. The grant may not cover the whole job, and the homeowner pays the evaluation fee.
