First checks cut for My Safe Florida Home program

Florida officials say they’ve cut the first checks for a handful of residents who strengthened their home’s storm preparedness under the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program. It’s a drop in the bucket – only $30,000 to 10 homeowners in five counties – but more checks will be sent during this phase of the program. The homeowners, who received free wind inspections during the pilot phase of the program, are being reimbursed for half the cost of a variety of home improvements, including hurricane shutters, reinforced garage doors and roof enhancements. The MSFH program is currently on hiatus but Sink says it will resume statewide. For more information, visit the MSFH Web site at http://www.mysafefloridahome.com.
