FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)

About This Program

FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides federal funding after a presidentially declared disaster to help homeowners reduce the risk of future damage. In Los Angeles, recent programs have focused on wildfire hardening, retrofitting, and flood mitigation. Grants are typically administered through the state and require a 25% local match, often provided by the state or local agency.
