MS residents soon to have safe room reimbursement grant application ability
MISSISSIPPI (WCBI) – Mississippians can soon apply for a safe room reimbursement grant.
The application process for the MEMA Statewide Residential Safe Room Grant Program opens on October 31.
The program looks to help Mississippi homeowners install a FEMA-compliant safe room or storm shelter on their property.
How it works is that eligible homeowners install the safe rooms themselves, and then they can submit a reimbursement application on the website.
From there, the applications are put in a pool and selected via a lottery-style.
The grant can cover up to 75% of eligible costs, or $3,500.
The funding for the program comes from federal hazard mitigation grant sources and is passed through MEMA.
The application process ends on November 30.
