SC Safe Home Roof Grant for Myrtle Beach and Horry County
The SC Safe Home Program can help coastal South Carolina homeowners pay for hurricane-resistant roof upgrades. As of June 2, 2026, the official SC Department of Insurance page says the program is not accepting new grant applicants, so the best move right now is to prepare your documents, confirm eligibility, and get the roof scope ready for the next funding window.
Current status: SC Safe Home is not accepting new grant applicants as of June 2, 2026. Do not start grant-funded roof mitigation work before the required pre-mitigation inspection and approval steps are complete.
