State Fire Hardening Grant administered in Clackamas County for 2020 wildfire survivors

How it works

Clackamas County’s building page references a grant program to help fire hardening of homes, businesses damaged in 2020 wildfires. A county board document explains that Oregon approved a Fire Hardening Grant after the 2020 wildfires to incentivize fire-hardening building materials when rebuilding structures damaged in those fires, and that the program provides money directly to owners of homes and businesses damaged or destroyed in the 2020 wildfires.

What the money covers

The board document describes the money as support for fire hardening of a home or business during rebuilding after wildfire damage. The county building page itself does not list covered items.

Amounts and matching

The county page excerpt does not state any dollar amount or match requirement.

How to apply

The county building page excerpt does not include an application process. The related board document indicates the county administered state funds through an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation and Development / Building Codes program, but the excerpt does not show homeowner-facing application steps.

Timing and deadlines

The county page references the program but does not show current open or closed dates. Because the public excerpt does not confirm current availability, the funding status is listed as unknown.

Notes for homeowners

This appears to be a post-2020 wildfire rebuilding grant rather than a general home-hardening program. Homeowners should verify current availability directly with the county before relying on it.
