Homeowners will be able to apply for My Safe Florida Home, a popular
home-hardening grant program that could help residents cut
property-insurance costs, starting on Monday, Aug. 4.

The Florida
Legislature has allocated $280 million in funding that will
go to inspections and grants of up to $10,000 to help
residents make storm-related upgrades and qualify for
property-insurance discounts.
Applications will be considered on a first-come,
first-served basis and in order of priority:
-
Low-income
homeowners age 60+
-
Low-income
homeowners
-
Moderate-income
homeowners age 60+
-
Moderate-income
homeowners
To be eligible, the
homes must be a single-family, detached residential property
or a townhouse. The owner must be living there, and the home
insured for $700,000 or less. Low-income homeowners are
exempt from this requirement.
The first step of the program would be to apply for a free,
no-obligation wind-mitigation inspection, and then apply for
a wind-mitigation grant. |
