MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Applications for the South Carolina Hurricane Damage Mitigation Grant program will open in a few months, but officials are encouraging you to prepare to apply now.
Officials with the South Carolina Department of Insurance said the grant funds from this program will help homeowners along the coast retrofit their homes to prepare them for hurricanes and severe wind damage.
The amount of the grant depends on the income of the applicant. Officials said the grant money can be used for things like secondary water barriers, hurricane shutters, stiffening gable ends, and more.
Officials said that applications are received on a first come, first served basis. The first grant funds were distributed in July, but then if you haven’t had a chance to apply, you will get the chance again on December 1st.
“Just before December 1st, prepare all your documents. You will need your tax assessment, your 1040 and your insurance page. It is this page on the front of your policy that lists all of your coverages, â€said Ray Farmer, Director of SCDOI.
Although there are currently no applications available for the scholarships, you can still sign up to receive notifications so you don’t miss them. You can also find out here which documents you need to qualify.
