    • Camps, seasonal residences, condominiums, and rental properties are not eligible.
  • Must maintain homeowners insurance.
  • If living in a flood plain, must also maintain flood insurance.
  • The home – with possible exception of the roof – must be structurally sound.
  • One grant per homeowner.

Grant Amounts

  • Standard grants up to $10,000 per home
  • Enhanced grants up to $15,000 per home – based on homeowner’s enrollment in SNAP or MaineCare.
