Some of the most vulnerable Californians can receive thousands of dollars from the state to better protect their homes.
The Earthquake Brace & Bolt program was established in 2015 by the California Earthquake Authority and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services in order to stabilize more than 1 million homes that are most at-risk when the earth shifts, jolts and trembles.
How to qualify
Qualifying residents are awarded up to $3,000 to retrofit their residences — typically older houses built before 1980 — to help prevent earthquake damage.
Also, homeowners earning up to $72,080 per household are now eligible for an additional low-income grant on a first-come, first-serve basis. Depending
