STRENGTHENING HOMES ACROSS THE GULF COAST
Rebuild Northwest Florida's Residential Hurricane Mitigation Program provides homeowners in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties with assistance to fortify their homes against hurricane force winds. Successful applicants receive FEMA funding for 75% of the cost of improvements and the homeowner covers the remaining 25%. (There is no income or home value criteria to participate in the program.)
REBUILD Northwest Florida is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2004 by a group of individuals to help the community recover from Hurricane Ivan. The organization continues to strengthen Gulf Coast communities by helping to fortify homes against the threat of hurricane storm damage.
