Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa is partnering with Strengthen Alabama Homes to offer residents of Tuscaloosa and Pickens Counties the opportunity to apply for a new fortified roof.

Funding for this program comes from the insurance industry.

A recent study by The University of Alabama shows that homes with these roofs sell for approximately 7% more than homes without.

If approved, the grant will cover the cost of a new roof up to $10,000.

If the grant award is not enough to cover the cost of your roof replacement, you will be responsible for the additional cost.

If you live in a flood zone, you must provide proof of flood insurance.

In order to qualify, your home should be in good repair. Funds are NOT available to complete other repairs.

You must also meet the income requirements listed on the Habitat for Humanity Tuscaloosa website.
