| REBUILD NORTHWEST FLORIDA, INC. Residential Hurricane Mitigation Program – ESCAMBIA COUNTY RENTAL UNITS |
|
| PURPOSE: | REBUILD’s Residential Hurricane Mitigation Program – Escambia County Rental Units is designed to help rental property owners fortify their house(s). Mitigation construction projects are restricted to REBUILD’s structural engineer’s recommendations and will vary with each home. Program participation is voluntary. However, if the owner elects to participate in the program, the owner must agree to the completion of all mitigation measures recommended by the engineer. This program is restricted to the following approved mitigation categories: |
| Roof Deck Attachment Bracing and/or Sheathing Gable Ends Reinforcing Roof-to-Wall Connections Opening Protection, includes Shutters and Skylights Exterior Doors, includes Garage Doors |
|
| TYPE OF ASSISTANCE: | 50% of the total project cost is paid by a FEMA Mitigation Grant 50% of the total project cost is paid by the Owner |
| PAYMENT PROCESS: | The cash match is due in two payments. 1. First there is a payment of $350.00 per property that is due before the property will be inspected. Property inspections are required to participate in the program. With the applicant’s approval, REBUILD may schedule an inspection (not necessarily in any priority order) prior to the close of the initial (or any subsequent) application period. An inspection does not guarantee the project will be approved or funded. 2. If the project is approved, the second payment is 50% of the estimated construction costs including construction management and associated administrative costs. These costs will be clearly detailed for you and payment will be due in full before construction work can begin. |
