A state grant program offering up to $10,000 for home-hardening improvements could be expanded from coastal regions to the entire state and get another $100 million in funding. Lawmakers are considering a proposal to expand the My Safe Florida Home Program and expand some of its eligible projects to townhouses.
Homeowners seeking $10,000 in state funding for $15,000 windstorm mitigation improvements will have to pay the entire upfront cost before applying for reimbursement. The good news is that the My Safe Florida Home program has begun notifying applicants that their grant applications have been approved. They can look for a contractor knowing that they'll be reimbursed for a major chunk of their project's cost.
