My Safe Florida Home Grant Reopens August 4, 2025

If you’re a Florida homeowner looking to strengthen your home and possibly lower your insurance premium, mark your calendar for August 4, 2025. That’s when the popular My Safe Florida Home grant program reopens—and it’s a chance you’ll want to be ready for.
The state-funded grant program helps cover the costs of wind mitigation improvements that enhance your property’s hurricane resistance, such as impact-rated windows and fortified roofs. Even better? Those upgrades can also lead to real savings on your homeowners insurance.
