How do I change the contractor after my grant is approved?

If an applicant needs to change a contractor in the online portal after receiving grant approval, they can do so at the Draw Request stage. It is still the homeowner’s responsibility to verify that the new contractor(s) meets all requirements. 

PLEASE NOTE: My Safe Florida Home Program and the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS) are not involved in or responsible for the contractor selection process or any aspects of the construction and payment process.  The program assumes no responsibility for the performance of the homeowner’s selected contractor. It is the sole responsibility of the homeowner to find and manage an eligible contractor and oversee the contractor relationship. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not use a properly licensed contractor or complete a recommended improvement, YOU WILL NOT BE PAID.
