Your application paperwork

Florida's My Safe Florida Home program gives homeowners a free wind mitigation inspection and then a matching grant to harden a single-family home against hurricanes. The grant matches 2 dollars for every 1 dollar you spend, up to 10,000 dollars, for improvements like roof upgrades, impact-resistant windows and doors, and reinforced openings. The Florida Department of Financial Services runs it through an online participant portal.

Steps to apply

  1. Create an account in the My Safe Florida Home participant portal and apply for a free wind mitigation inspection.
  2. Have the free state inspection done; it identifies the improvements that would reduce wind damage.
  3. Apply for the matching grant through the portal once you have your inspection report.
  4. Have a qualified contractor do the approved work, then submit documentation to receive the matching funds.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof of a homestead exemption on the property.
  • Proof the home is insured for less than 500,000 dollars.
  • Documentation that the home is in the wind-borne debris region and was permitted before January 1, 2008.
