Program details
How it works
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) Residential Safe Room Program provides rebates for the installation of safe rooms in Indiana residences. The program is run through the state hazard mitigation assistance program and is intended to help households add protected shelter space.
What the money covers
The official program page describes rebates for the installation of safe rooms. It does not, on the page reviewed, list a more detailed eligible-cost breakdown beyond the safe room installation itself.
Amounts and matching
The statewide program amount shown on the IDHS grants page is a maximum rebate of $5,000, with 75% reimbursement. That means the rebate is not a blank check; the homeowner is reimbursed after the fact up to the program cap.
How to apply
The program page directs applicants to the IDHS mitigation contact for more information. The grants page lists the contact email as mitigation@dhs.in.gov.
Timing and deadlines
On the IDHS grants page, the Residential Safe Room Program is listed as closed for the 2025 cycle, with an open date of November 1, 2025 and a deadline of November 30, 2025. The page reviewed does not state whether the 2026 cycle has opened yet.
