Submitting a Draw Request

Approval of a Draw Request is contingent upon completion of the home’s Final Inspection AND receipt of uploaded required documentation. A Final Inspection of the home must be requested and completed BEFORE the Homeowner submits a Draw Request.

Submitting a Draw Request

  1. The Final Inspection of the home must be completed, and the Final Inspection Report must have been uploaded by the Inspector to the Applicant Portal.
  2. The Homeowner must submit the Final Inspection to their insurance provider requesting discounts.
  3. Once their insurance provider has responded, the Homeowner must complete or submit the following in the Applicant Portal.
    1. Draw Request Summary – contains basic information about the Homeowner’s Mitigation Project.
    2. Original Contractor Invoice - a detailed invoice or quote that describes the Mitigation Project that was performed.
    3. Proof of PaymentI in Full - cancelled check, receipts, paid invoice, or financing agreement, etc. PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT required for Low-Income participants.
    4. Proof of Insurance Premium Discounts - email, letter, new declarations page, new insurance quote.
    5. Payment Verification – contains information about where the disbursement will be sent.
  4. Once the Homeowner has completed the Draw Request, the Draw Request will be reviewed by the Program. If there is a problem with the Draw Request, the Homeowner will be alerted to correct the information.

Reimbursement for Approved Draw Requests

Homeowners approved for their Draw Request will receive an approval email. A disbursement check will arrive in the mail in the following weeks. Please look for emails from the Program and check your spam folder regularly.

If there is an issue with a Homeowner’s Draw Request, the request will be returned to the Homeowner. Please check for emails from the Program.
