Take advantage of this program- it was created by our elected legislators!! I did not meet the elgiblity for totally free grant but I am going to check out the Florida "match" of up to $ 5,000.

My Safe Florida Home program

Did you know?

Strengthening your home against hurricanes can help.....

1. Reduce the amount and extent of hurricane damage to your home. A Category 1 Hurricane with winds of 75 mph can inflict as much as $ 25,000. in damage to a home without opening protection.

2. Improve your overall recovery time from a Hurricane. On average, homeowners without hurricane protection on their windows and doors took nearly one year to fully recover from a catastrophic hurricane.

3. Save money on your hurricane insurance premium. Protecting your windows and doors, including garage doors, may help you save more that 10 percent on your hurricane insurance.

The My Florida Home program was created by Florida Legislature in 2006 to help Floridians strengthen their homes against hurricanes. You may be eligible for a free wind inspection, which will tell you how you can best protect your home. Additionally, if you receive an inspection and meet certain requirements, you may be eligible to apply for a matching grant of up to $ 5,000.Also, you may be eligible for a full grant (cost free) if you make the annual earnings limitations.

To learn more or to apply for a free wind inspection, log onto WWW.MYSAFEFLORIDAHOME.COM or call the My Safe Florida Home program toll-free at 1-866-513-6734.

For FREE INSPECTION use the following CODE:A-01
