Step 1: Apply for a Hurricane Mitigation Inspection.

  • The Homeowner submits an Inspection Application via the Account Portal https://mysafeflhome.com/.
  • Homeowners must provide all required information and documentation to receive Inspection Application approval.

Step 2: Schedule an Initial Inspection.

  • Upon Inspection Application approval, the Homeowner schedules an Initial Inspection for the Inspector to determine which, if any, Improvements are recommended for the home.

Step 3: Receive an Initial Inspection Report.

  • The Inspector uploads the Initial Inspection Report to the Applicant Portal.
  • If the Inspector does not recommend any Improvements, please send your report to your insurance company to obtain any potential premium discounts. If you have no recommended Improvements, you will not be able to proceed with a Grant Application.

Step 4: Apply for a Hurricane Mitigation Grant.

  • Homeowners must provide all required information and documentation to receive Grant Application approval.

Step 5: Complete a Hurricane Mitigation Project.

  • The Homeowner works with their Contractor to complete a Mitigation Project for Improvements on the home based on the recommendations in the Initial Inspection Report.

Step 6: Schedule a Final Inspection.

  • Upon completion of the Mitigation Project, the Homeowner schedules a Final Inspection for the Inspector to observe any Improvements that were successfully completed on the home.

Step 7: Receive a Final Inspection Report.

  • The Inspector uploads the Final Inspection Report to the Account Portal.

Step 8: Submit a Draw Request.

  • The Homeowner submits a Draw Request via the Account Portal on https://mysafeflhome.com/.
