Grant program to help fire hardening of homes, businesses damaged in 2020 wildfires

How it works

Clackamas County’s Building Codes page references a grant program to help fire hardening of homes and businesses damaged in 2020 wildfires. The page itself does not describe the mechanics of the program beyond noting that it exists as a grant-related resource on the county building site.

What the money covers

The page says the grant is for fire hardening of homes and businesses affected by the 2020 wildfires. No list of eligible projects, materials, or construction activities is provided on the page excerpt.

Amounts and matching

The county page does not state a dollar amount, reimbursement cap, formula, or matching requirement.

How to apply

No homeowner application steps are provided on the page excerpt. The page is presented as part of the county’s building and permitting information, with contact information for permit staff, but it does not explain how a homeowner would submit a grant request.

Timing and deadlines

The page mentions the program in the present tense, but it does not state whether the grant is currently open, closed, or exhausted. It also does not provide start or end dates, deadlines, or a funding cycle.

Notes for homeowners

This appears to be a post-2020 wildfire rebuilding grant tied to fire hardening during reconstruction, not a general-purpose home-hardening rebate or incentive. Because the page does not include operational details, homeowners should verify current availability directly with the county before planning work around this program.
