Program details
How it works
FEMA says homeowners affected by wildfire damage and eligible for Individuals and Households Program (IHP) Home Repair Assistance may receive additional funds for specific mitigation measures based on the cause and amount of damage to their home. This is not a stand-alone homeowner application program; it is an add-on to IHP home repair assistance.
What the money covers
For wildfire damage, FEMA says the mitigation measures include:
- Covering attic vents, crawlspace vents, and vents in enclosures below decks to prevent fire damage.
- Installing non-combustible gutters and leaf guards to prevent fire damage.
Amounts and matching
The fact sheet does not state a dollar cap for the wildfire mitigation add-on.
How to apply
The page explains the funds are available to eligible IHP home repair applicants. It does not provide a separate homeowner application process on the fact sheet.
Timing and deadlines
No separate deadline is stated on the fact sheet; access depends on a qualifying Presidential Disaster Declaration and IHP eligibility.
