My Safe Florida Home

The My Safe Florida Home Program provides free home inspections in which hurricane vulnerabilities will be assessed and homeowners will be provided with a list of recommended property improvements to mitigate potential storm damage. Following an inspection, eligible homeowners will be able to apply for matching grant funding through the program to implement home improvements designed to reduce exposure to storm damage. For every $1 the homeowner provides, the program will provide $2, up to a maximum match amount of $10,000. For more information, click HERE.
