A grant aimed at helping homeowners strengthen their property against weather disasters is accepting applications beginning Monday.
The South Carolina Department Insurance (SCDOI) says the portal for the Safe Home Grant Program opens on the 13th. Specifically, this grant helps cover the costs to modify home strength against hurricanes or strong winds.
Those modifications could be roof retrofits, opening protection, and structural reinforcements.
“Building a more resilient South Carolina is central to our mission,” said Michael Wise, director of SCDOI. “This year, we are better prepared than ever to help homeowners make meaningful improvements that reduce the impact of severe weather.”
SCDOI says homeowners planning to apply for the grant should look over guidelines and be prepared to gather necessary documentation in advance. More information can be found online .
