The State of Florida has allocated $115 million for grants to homeowners of single-family homes that would benefit from home improvements that will strengthen the home for potential wind damage by storms in the future.  

Grants are capped at $10,000 per homeowner and only dispersed AFTER eligible improvement work has been completed by an approved contractor and payment has been made by the homeowner. Eligible work includes re-roofing or retrofitting the roof structure, installation of hurricane shutters or impact windows, installation of impact rated exterior doors and garage doors.  

Homeowners will realize additional savings through June 30, 2024, as sales tax is exempt on purchases of impact-resistant doors, impact-resistant garage doors, and impact-resistant windows.
