Program details
How it works
Fortify Maine Homes is a state grant program run by the Maine Bureau of Insurance. It helps pay for roof replacement on eligible homes, with grant funds paid directly to the roofer or roofing company after the project is completed and passes final inspection.
What the money covers
The official page says the program is for roof replacement. It does not list any other covered home-hardening work on the main program page.

- Standard grants: up to $10,000 per home.
- Enhanced grants: up to $15,000 per home for homeowners enrolled in SNAP or MaineCare.
