  • Several Florida homeowners are sharing their frustrations over changes to the state's My Safe Florida Home Program, which re-opened on July 1st. The My Safe Florida Home Program is touted as a solution to the state's insurance crisis. It offers Florida homeowners grants of up to $10,000 to harden their homes, with the goal of lowering insurance rates. The program quickly ran out of money in 2023, leaving many in limbo,

    Seriously blatantly asking for funding that you can afford . Stop and think . There's people who really need this help .

    The median income in that county is $92,000???? Holy Hathor - why does ANYBODY with that kind of income, regardless of how old they are, need aid from the state to get shatter proof windows?

    As I sit here trying to cool off after working outside in 101° heat all day, and 90°+ for the last week, and I make less than $30G a year, I wanna say, "CRY ME A FREAKING RIVER!"

      Can you move out of that horrific state? You'd be better off if you can save up whatever you can, pennies a day until you have enough money to just get the heck out of Florida Hell.

    Just pay for it yourself... You're making $80k+. Buy shutters yourself and do it yourself if you want to save money. Why should taxpayers pay to do something to YOUR home?

      Gee, because we pay taxes, also. Seriously? As a homeowner who makes far more than $80K per year, I happily took the $10K check for my $40K windows. Thanks for helping me pay for them but this program is open to you, also. Your jealousy is showing!

    Am I understanding correctly that she's making over 80k hence she can't be first in line?
    And she's upset?
    Uh. Wow. But that crap yourself sister.

      ​@@jmcc5168yes everyone is hurting..however those most vulnerable that have no way to pay for these things should be taken care of as they simply don't have the means to do so. She is fortunate to have the means to pay for these items and if there's anything left over at the end she will be able to recoup some of her money. The reporter didn't even list her income which makes me believe she's well above the median income threshold.

      I bought new windows for my 3k sq ft home. For 22 impact rated windows, it was about $40K. You seriously believe most people have all that cash to do a home repair?

    Exactly what happened to me last year got approved . Had the State approved inspector come out and approved the upgrades. Summited to the State then the funding ran out . This year everyone gets in front of me that are newly applying .

      It is because most low income or elderly are in mobile homes and the program doesn't help them 😂 Talk about not helping the actual lowest income people who would need it.
