The $10,000 grant is the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program, run by the Florida Department of Financial Services. It offers a free wind mitigation inspection, then a matching grant for hurricane hardening projects like impact windows, doors, shutters, and roof upgrades.
Standard grants match $2 in state funds for every $1 a homeowner spends, capped at $10,000, so you’d need roughly $15,000 in project costs to get the full amount. Low-income homeowners can receive up to $10,000 without the matching requirement.
Eligibility generally requires a homestead exemption, insured value under $700,000, and a building permit issued before January 1, 2008. Apply through mysafeflhome.com.
