Strengthen Alabama Homes Grant

How it works

Habitat for Humanity Troup County Inc., in partnership with the State of Alabama Insurance Department, is actively accepting applications for the Alabama Homes Grant. The program provides funding toward the installation of fortified roofs for eligible homeowners.

What the money covers

The grant provides funds toward the installation of fortified roofs. The page does not list any other covered work.

Amounts and matching

• The grant provides up to $10,000.
• If the roofing bid exceeds $10,000, the homeowner is responsible for the remaining balance.
• Homeowners may negotiate a payment plan directly with the contractor for any remaining balance.
• If the applicant cannot cover additional costs, they will not be eligible to proceed.

How to apply

Applicants must submit a completed application, a signed and notarized disclosure statement, and proof of income. If roof insurance applies, the first two pages of the current policy must also be included. After installation, proof of insurance for the new roof is required.

Timing and deadlines

Applications are currently being accepted for repairs scheduled in 2026 and 2027. Submitted applications are placed on a waiting list and reviewed for eligibility. Selected applicants are contacted by an evaluator to schedule roof assessments. The page says that due to limited slots each quarter, only a select number of applicants move forward at a time and homeowners will be contacted when their turn arrives.
