FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

About This Program

FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides funding after federally declared disasters to reduce risk from future natural hazards. Eligible activities for homeowners include flood-proofing, wind-hardening, safe room construction, and drainage improvements. Homeowners cannot apply directly – applications are submitted through the City of Albuquerque or state emergency management.

Federal funding covers 75% of eligible project costs; local government must provide 25% match. Individual homeowner benefit varies by project scope.
