Welcome to the My Safe Florida Home Web site.
Our mission is to help Floridians learn how to harden their homes to better protect themselves and their families from windstorm damage. 
 
Thank you for your interest in the My Safe Florida Home program.

CFO Sink aggressively lobbied the Legislature to continue funding this tremendously successful program, and plans to do so again next year.  However, unfortunately due to budget constraints, the program will expire on June 30, 2009. 

If you have resources available, we encourage you to take steps to protect yourself and your property against hurricane damage.  The first step is pursuing a wind inspection to identify how you can strengthen your home or determine if you are eligible for discounts on your wind insurance.

Hurricane season is June 1 through November 30 - now is the time to prepare. Thankfully, Florida did not experience a major hurricane this past season. Click here to learn what you can do to help your home better withstand hurricane-force winds. 

Following a request from CFO Sink, the IRS ruled in November 2007 that grants awarded through the MSFH program are not considered taxable income and do not have to be reported as income to the federal government. Read more here.
