SC STATEWIDE PROGRAM

The SC Safe Home program is a statewide initiative administered by the South Carolina Department of Insurance (DOI.SC.GOV). It provides grants to help South Carolina homeowners harden their homes against wind and storm damage — available statewide in SC including Greenville County.

**What the program covers**

- Roof deck attachment (re-nailing sheathing)

- Secondary water barrier (ice-and-water shield)

- Roof-to-wall connections (hurricane straps)

- Opening protection (shutters, impact-resistant windows)

- Garage door bracing

**Eligibility in Greenville County** — SC Safe Home is available statewide. Greenville County homeowners in single-family residences are eligible. Priority is given to low-to-moderate income applicants and residents in wind-exposed areas.

**Grant amounts** — Grants typically cover 25–75% of eligible improvement costs, up to program caps. Amounts vary by project type and funding cycle. Check DOI.SC.GOV for the current cycle’s maximums.

**How to apply**

1. Visit doi.sc.gov/safehome for the current application window

2. Get a contractor estimate from a licensed SC contractor

3. Submit application with supporting documentation

4. Wait for approval before starting work (work done before approval is not reimbursable)

**Greenville note** — Greenville County occasionally supplements state programs with local grant matching through the Greenville County Planning and Development department. Check with the county directly for any local supplements.
