Many Florida residents are unaware of the benefits of the My Safe Florida Home Program. The My Safe Florida Home program helps Florida homeowners prepare for hurricane season and recover from hurricane damage. 

The 2024 hurricane season devastated many homeowners, leaving them with severe losses and extensive property damage, often due to insufficient preparation. Your home is important, and knowing your options is necessary to make informed decisions. 

Learn more about the My Safe Florida Home program, and determine your eligibility to take advantage of the program.


Overview of The Program

The My Safe Florida Home Program offers grants to help homeowners strengthen their homes against hurricanes and reduce insurance premiums.

Eligibility

• Any homeowner with a site-built single-family residential property in Florida is eligible.

• The program provides a free, no-obligation home hurricane inspection.

Inspection Process

• After approval, an inspector contacts the homeowner to schedule a free roof inspection.

• The inspection report will evaluate your home’s ability to withstand severe weather and recommend improvements.

Benefits

• Apply for up to $10,000 in state funding for recommended upgrades.

• Improvements include installing impact-resistant windows, upgrading exterior and garage doors, or reinforcing your residential roofing system.

• These upgrades will help protect your home from hurricanes and may lower insurance premiums.

• Florida Homeowners must contribute $1 for every $2 provided by the state (e.g., for a $10,000 grant, the homeowner pays $5,000).

Contractor Requirements

• Florida homeowners must use certified Florida State roofing contractors to ensure quality craftsmanship and maintain the program’s standards.

• A list of certified roofing contractors can be found online; this list is available at MySafeFLHome.com.

• Recently, a new draw submission process was made available to assist Florida homeowners in finding roofing contractors, helping to streamline the process.

Application Process

• To check eligibility and apply, visit MySafeFLHome.com.

• Click the “Apply Now” button and provide your valid email address, full name, home address, phone number, and other required information.

• By taking advantage of the My Safe Florida Home program, you can strengthen your home, protect your family, and reduce future hurricane risks.
