Program details
How it works
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a FEMA program administered in North Carolina by NC Emergency Management. It funds hazard mitigation planning, buyouts of hazard-prone property, and construction projects that reduce or prevent future disaster losses after a presidentially declared disaster.
What the money covers
The official page says eligible projects must be viable, cost-effective, and comply with environmental and historic preservation laws. It also notes that HMGP can support projects using nature-based solutions to reduce flood, drought, or wildfire impacts.
Who can apply
The state page says state and local governments and federally recognized tribes are the only eligible applicants. Homeowners, businesses, and nonprofits may be able to submit a sub-application through one of those eligible applicants.
Amounts and matching
The page excerpt does not give a homeowner grant cap. It does note that in North Carolina the state has generally covered the match.
Notes
This is an important statewide recovery funding source, but it is not a direct homeowner rebate program and the homeowner path is indirect through an eligible applicant.
