Elevate Florida

How it works

State of Florida materials describe Elevate Florida as a statewide residential mitigation cost-share grant program administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The program is intended to protect homes and communities by reducing damage caused by natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods, and it differs from disaster-repair programs because it is only a mitigation program.

What it covers

The state consumer page says the following project types are eligible under Elevate Florida: Structure Elevation, Mitigation Reconstruction, and Structure Acquisition. That indicates the program is aimed at flood-loss reduction and other major hazard-resilient home actions. (myfloridacfo.com)

Amounts and matching

The sources we found describe Elevate Florida as a cost-share grant program, but they do not publish a homeowner-facing dollar cap, match percentage, or application-specific funding formula on the pages we reviewed. Because the official pages are thin, those values are left blank here. (floridajobs.org)

How to apply

The state consumer page says to see the Division of Emergency Management’s Elevate Florida website for complete program guidelines and application information. We did not find a homeowner application page in the official materials reviewed. (myfloridacfo.com)
