- Most it pays
- $10,000 per-project
- About the amount
- Up to $10,000 in state matching-grant money ($2 state : $1 owner) for moderate-income owners; LOW-INCOME owners (≤80% AMI) get up to $10,000 with NO match required and no paid-in-full invoice needed.
- Housing rules
- Site-built single-family home (or townhouse ≤3 stories) on its own parcel, owner-occupied with homestead exemption. Mobile/manufactured homes, condos, co-ops, duplexes/triplexes, second homes, and rentals are NOT eligible even for the free inspection.
- How long it takes
- Not officially published; grant paid via mailed check only after work is complete, permitted, and final-inspected.
- How to apply
- Create an account at MySafeFLHome.com, apply for the free program-assigned wind-mitigation inspection, get a licensed contractor's bid on recommended items, apply for the grant, wait for WRITTEN approval before any work, then request the one final inspection and submit the Draw Request.
- Does not pay for
- Only the four hurricane-hardening improvement types are eligible, and only if the program's own inspection recommended them. No accessibility mods, no HVAC/plumbing, no post-storm damage repair (it's prevention only, not disaster repair).
