PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) – Pine Belt residents are encouraged to apply for a new roofing grant.
The FORTIFIED fund was created by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety to assist homeowners in protecting their homes during hurricanes and other natural disasters.
Residents can receive up to $15,000 for a replacement roof or $7,500 for a newly-constructed home.
“A roof can cost you tens of thousands of dollars to get it repaired, and this grant is allowing people who just did not have the means to get a roof put on their homes,” said Housing: Economic Resources & Education Assistant Director Kymberley Ruffin. “And it can also increase the value of their home, which is even better.”
The application window for 2023 has passed, but residents can still apply for the spring 2024 period.
