How to Pay for a Seismic Retrofit

You’ve made the important decision to strengthen your house against earthquake damage—now, decide how you will pay for it.

CRMP’s Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program, which launched in 2013, offers grants of up to $3,000 for a residential seismic retrofit. These grants cover retrofits for strengthening specific types of older, wood-frame homes. EBB also now offers additional funding in the form of a supplementary grant for low-income homeowners.

In addition to this program, there are yet more funding options available in California to help you pay to strengthen your home against earthquake damage.
