Say what needs fixing, who lives there, your county, rough household income, and whether you own and live in the home. In a few seconds you get the programs that fit, what each pays for, whether it's a grant or a loan, the order to apply in, and what to have ready. No account. Nothing stored.
Free — takes 30 seconds
What needs fixing, your county, who lives in the home (ages, disability, veteran), roughly the household income, whether you own and live there, whether there's a mortgage, and whether the damage is from a declared storm.
Why this exists
Florida pays for wind hardening. Your county pays for repairs for lower-income owners. The state weatherizes for free. The USDA lends at 1% to rural seniors. Each has a form, a waiting list and a rule about not starting work first. This matches you to the ones that fit and tells you what to bring.
How it works
The need, who lives there, income, county. Nothing is saved.
What each pays, grant or loan, the rule that matters, the order to apply — in large type, English or Spanish.
The checklists, the statement of need, the call scripts and the tracker, in the organization version.
Plans
The licence is for the credit union, county office, senior center, church or Habitat affiliate that wants the application pack with its name and its county's contacts on it.
Your organization's name and your county's SHIP and weatherization contacts pre-filled; printable packs — checklists, statement of need, scripts, tracker — for every household.
For a church, a senior center or a neighborhood group that hears 'the roof' every week.
Free for individuals, always. Licence prices in USD, handled by Stripe.
Common questions
Yes — the tool itself is free, always, with no account required, and nothing you type is stored. The $99/month and $49/month plans listed are for organizations like credit unions, counties, churches and senior centers to offer the tool to their communities, not fees charged to individual homeowners using it.
No — Home Repair Grant Finder FL is not a government agency and can be wrong, and it never promises an award. Program rules and funding change, so you still need to confirm on each program's page and with your county housing office.
Depending on your situation you may see programs like My Safe Florida Home's free wind-mitigation inspections and matching grants, county SHIP repair programs, the Weatherization Assistance Program, USDA Section 504 grants for rural homeowners 62+, Rebuild Florida after a declared disaster, VA adapted-housing grants, or the IRS energy-efficient home improvement tax credit. Funding often opens in rounds, so check the current status of any program before counting on it.
No — apply first. Many programs can't pay for work that's already done or already under contract, so it's safer to apply before signing with a contractor, and to use only licensed contractors when you do hire one.
No — this is not legal, medical, or tax advice, and the tool isn't a government agency. It can be wrong, so confirm eligibility, rules, and deadlines directly with the program or your county housing office.
Sí — la herramienta en sí es siempre gratuita, no requiere cuenta, y nada de lo que usted escriba se guarda. Los planes de $99 al mes y $49 al mes son para organizaciones como cooperativas de crédito, condados, iglesias y centros de adultos mayores que quieran ofrecer la herramienta a su comunidad, no son cobros a los dueños de casa que la usan.
No — Home Repair Grant Finder FL no es una agencia del gobierno y puede equivocarse, y nunca promete que usted recibirá una ayuda. Las reglas y los fondos de los programas cambian, así que usted debe confirmar en la página de cada programa y con la oficina de vivienda de su condado.
Según su situación, puede que le aparezcan programas como las inspecciones gratuitas de mitigación de viento y las subvenciones equivalentes de My Safe Florida Home, los programas SHIP de reparación de cada condado, el Programa de Asistencia de Climatización, las subvenciones del USDA Sección 504 para dueños rurales de 62 años o más, Rebuild Florida después de un desastre declarado, las subvenciones de vivienda adaptada del VA, o el crédito federal del IRS por mejoras de eficiencia energética. Los fondos a menudo se abren por rondas, así que verifique el estado actual de cualquier programa antes de contar con él.
No — solicite primero. Muchos programas no pueden pagar por un trabajo que ya está hecho o ya está bajo contrato, así que es más seguro solicitar antes de firmar con un contratista, y usar solamente contratistas licenciados cuando llegue el momento de contratar.
No — esto no es un consejo legal, médico ni de impuestos, y la herramienta no es una agencia del gobierno. Puede equivocarse, así que confirme la elegibilidad, las reglas y los plazos directamente con el programa o con la oficina de vivienda de su condado.
