The South Carolina Safe Home Grant Program helps coastal homeowners strengthen their homes against hurricanes and severe storms while reducing your cost of having your roof replaced. Administered by the South Carolina Department of Insurance, the program provides financial assistance for improvements like reinforced roof systems, secondary water barriers, and other wind-resistant upgrades.
For homeowners across Myrtle Beach, Horry County, and the greater Coastal Carolina region, the grant can significantly reduce the cost of installing a stronger, storm-resistant roofing system. United Roofing helps homeowners understand if they are eligible, assist you to apply for the grant, and notify you when the grant window next becomes available.
This is an extremely popular program and it is important to apply ahead of time before the next round of state funding becomes available for it.
