My Safe Florida Home program to resume

Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink announced yesterday that the free home inspections would resume within the next two weeks. The pilot phase of the My Safe Florida Home program was launched in late August 2006. During the MSFH program’s 2006 pilot phase, more than 14,000 free wind inspections were conducted in 17 counties. Along with an inspection report, these 14,000 homeowners received a grant application to apply for matching funds, and the department has received applications for matching funds from more than 4,100 homeowners to date. These homeowners are currently working with licensed contractors approved by the MSFH program and making recommended improvements to their homes. Once the work has been completed, the state will reimburse the homeowners for 50 percent of the actual cost of the improvements, up to $5,000. To date, more than $47,000 in grant money has been awarded to 19 Floridians in seven counties.
