Hurricane season is part of life in Florida, but protecting your home doesn’t have to be stressful. The My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) Program helps eligible homeowners strengthen their homes against hurricanes through state-funded grants and free inspections.
As a certified contractor in this program, Tampa Bay Roofing Services makes the improvement process clear, compliant, and dependable.
Below is an overview of how the MSFH Program operates and the key ways it helps Florida homeowners strengthen and protect their properties.
The MSFH Program was established by the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) to help homeowners fortify their properties against hurricane damage.
Through no-obligation hurricane mitigation inspections and state-funded grants, the program promotes safety, resilience, and long-term savings.
Eligible homeowners may qualify for either a Matching Grant or a Low-Income Grant, depending on income level.
The Matching Grant reimburses two-thirds (2/3) of approved project costs — a 2:1 match — up to a total of $10,000, subject to legislative appropriation.
The Low-Income Grant covers up to $10,000 without requiring matching funds or a paid-in-full invoice.
This structure helps Florida families complete essential mitigation improvements without bearing the full cost.

When your home is built to withstand hurricane-force winds, your entire property becomes safer.
Roof reinforcement and structural upgrades reduce the risk of leaks, wind intrusion, and costly damage — offering peace of mind every storm season.
Every eligible homeowner begins with a free hurricane mitigation inspection performed by an inspector assigned through the MSFH Program. Homeowners apply for this inspection directly through the state’s Applicant Portal — not through a contractor.
The detailed report identifies specific areas where improvements can increase storm resistance and may qualify for grant funding.
The MSFH Program is designed specifically for Florida homeowners who live in their properties full-time. To qualify:
Condominiums, manufactured homes, duplexes, and multi-unit dwellings are typically ineligible under current program guidelines.
Always confirm eligibility details through the official My Safe Florida Home Support Center before applying.
Funding is available only for improvements recommended in the inspection report and verified after final inspection.
Eligible categories include:
Townhouses and attached single-family homes are only eligible for Opening Protection improvements, and a new roof may qualify for funding only if the work specifically addresses one or more of these four improvement categories.
Beyond the grant itself, participants often experience lower insurance premiums and reduced maintenance expenses over time.
Strengthening your home against hurricanes increases safety, preserves value, and can lead to measurable savings each year.
Homeowners who qualify for the MSFH Program need a trusted, licensed contractor to carry out the approved work. As a certified partner, here’s how our team ensures every project meets state standards and delivers lasting protection:
We’re an officially registered contractor within the MSFH Program.
