Free assessment; recommended upgrades may be installed at little to no cost
DOEE will send a professional to eligible DC homes for a free flood resilience assessment and may install recommended upgrades at little to no cost to the homeowner.
Program details
How it works
FloodSmart Homes is a DOEE pilot program for homeowners with flood risk. A professional visits the home, evaluates flood vulnerabilities, and produces a Home Resilience Report with the most useful and cost-effective upgrades for that property. If the homeowner agrees to the recommended improvements, DOEE will install them at little to no cost.
What the money or service covers
The official page describes a free flood resilience assessment and report. It also says DOEE can install recommended upgrades at little to no cost. The page does not list a full menu of covered measures, but it does mention resilient upgrades and related flood-risk reduction work.
Amounts and matching
The page does not state a dollar cap, reimbursement amount, or match requirement.
How to apply
Homeowners can sign up through the program’s online survey, by emailing the Flood Team, or by calling the listed phone number for assistance.
Timing and deadlines
The page describes the program as a pilot and does not give an application deadline. It says homes in the highest-risk flood areas are served first, followed by other homes with documented flood risk.
