The state processes applications in priority groups — and Group 1 (first in line) is reserved for homeowners age 60 or older. In The Villages, that means most homeowners move to the front of the queue automatically. But the portal opens and closes fast — be ready before it opens.
Seniors appear in 2 of the 4 priority groups — no other demographic gets that advantage.
The My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) Program is a state-funded grant program administered by the Florida Department of Financial Services. It helps Florida homeowners strengthen their roofs against hurricanes and high winds — and may help lower your insurance premiums.
The program covers wind mitigation upgrades including stronger roof decking attachment, secondary water barriers, and impact-resistant shingles. The maximum grant is $10,000, and most full roof replacements cost more — but the grant significantly reduces your out-of-pocket expense.
Florida law allows insurance companies to cancel or non-renew policies on homes with roofs over 15 years old. Don't wait for a cancellation notice. A new MSFH-grant-funded roof can protect your home AND your coverage.
The MSFH grant process starts with a free wind inspection — and State Certified Roofing does exactly that. We come out, assess your roof, document what wind-mitigation upgrades are needed, and give you a full report. This inspection report is your ticket into the MSFH program.

The MSFH grant covers specific wind-mitigation improvements — not a cosmetic remodel. Here's what qualifies:
Stronger fastening of the roof deck to the structural trusses — the #1 defense against wind uplift.
An additional layer under your shingles that prevents water intrusion if shingles are lost in a storm.
New roofing shingles required to complete the wind mitigation work — may lower your insurance premium.
A wind-mitigated roof can earn significant discounts on your homeowner's insurance — ask your agent.
💡 SCR Pro Tip: Many homeowners qualify for BOTH the My Safe Florida Home grant AND PACE financing — or the MSFH grant AND an Enhancify loan. That means you could cover most or all of a new roof with no money down and minimal out-of-pocket cost. Call Sarge and we'll stack every option available to you.
It's real money — up to $10,000 awarded by the State of Florida, applied directly toward your qualifying roof upgrades. It is not a loan and does not need to be repaid.
Yes. We walk you through the wind inspection process, help you understand your results, and make sure the upgrades we install qualify for the grant amounts you applied for. We've done this before — and we know what the state wants to see.
It varies based on state program volume — sometimes a few weeks, sometimes longer. Apply as early as possible. The program has funding limits and opens and closes periodically. Don't wait.
Your grant amount is based on the specific upgrades identified in your wind inspection. If the grant doesn't cover everything, we can combine it with PACE or Enhancify financing to cover the remaining balance — still with low or no out-of-pocket cost.
Sarge will come out, inspect your roof for free, and tell you exactly how to start your MSFH application. Florida is offering this money — let SCR help you get it.
