Program that pays homeowners to hurricane harden their homes still owes money
Oldsmar homeowner Becky Valine said the check from the state should have arrived months ago. The My Safe Florida Home program approved Valine last summer for a $9,000 grant toward the more than $14,000 she paid for hurricane windows. The popular grant matches up to 10,000 dollars of homeowner costs to harden their homes against hurricanes. Approved applicants receive $2 for every dollar they spend on eligible home strengthening improvements.
