Florida Lawmakers Boost My Safe Florida Home Program Funding

Florida lawmakers are set to significantly bolster the My Safe Florida Home program by adding an additional $300 million to its budget. This move aims to enhance the state's resilience against hurricanes by helping homeowners fortify their residences. The program, which has already seen substantial interest, encourages homeowners to take proactive measures to protect their properties from storm damage through various home-hardening initiatives.

Recent updates to the program include a mandatory survey for homeowners, aimed at assessing the effectiveness and impact of the home-hardening grants. With over $103 million in unused funds still available, state officials are urging eligible Florida residents to apply for these grants to secure their homes before the next hurricane season.

The increased funding and the push for more applications come at a critical time as Florida continues to face the threat of severe weather. The My Safe Florida Home program not only seeks to reduce property damage but also aims to lower insurance premiums for participating homeowners, thereby offering a dual benefit to Florida's residents.
