My Safe Florida Home

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.

My Safe Florida Home Program Exceeds Legislative Goals
Applications End

The My Safe Florida Home program has exceeded the Legislature’s goals of awarding 35,000 grants and providing more than 400,000 free wind inspections to eligible homeowners. Although we are no longer accepting applications, we are continuing to serve homeowners previously enrolled in the program.

CFO Sink is urging the Legislature to continue funding the My Safe Florida Home program to serve additional homeowners. Floridians can express their support for continuing this program to their local legislative officials. Click here to find your local state senator and here to find your local state representative.

What Can I Do Now?

Homeowners do not have to wait for the Florida Legislature. You can pay for a wind inspection to identify how you can harden your home or to determine if you are eligible for discounts on your wind insurance premiums. Contact your insurance agent or insurance company for a referral to insurer-approved wind inspection firms.

We are experiencing an unusually high call volume on our toll-free helpline. As a result, hold times may be longer than expected. We appreciate your patience and look forward to serving you.

Learn more about mitigation discounts.
If your home has undergone a wind inspection through the My Safe Florida Home program and you are potentially eligible for insurance discounts or credits, you will receive a mitigation form. This personalized form will tell your insurance company how your home may qualify for insurance discounts. Please read more .
