Most people go through life without anyone ever giving them $3,000 in cash without any catch, right?  And you would never expect the government to be handing out $3,000 checks to citizens, right?  Well, we are happy to report that this is happening in our great city of Los Angeles, a couple of times a year!  Although Halloween was just a couple of days ago, this is no trick!

What is the California EBB Program?

Typically, twice a year, the State of California’s Earthquake Brace and Bolt program provides eligible homeowners with completely free money grants of up to $3,000 to subsidize the cost of seismic retrofitting their at-risk homes.  Right now, applications for this grant are accepted from homeowners who live in many EBB Eligible ZIP codes across the greater Los Angeles area!

This is not a “first-come-first-serve” application process, so everyone has an equal chance to participate in the program and apply through November 29, 2022!

For many homes, this FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY can potentially cover the full cost of bracing and bolting the property!  This retrofitting process can literally save lives and valuable property when an earthquake hits!  Homeowners whose property suffers even minor damage during an earthquake are on the hook for many thousands of dollars, and major damage can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair!

How Do I Qualify For EBB Supplemental Grants?

Moreover, homeowners with household income at or below $72,080, qualify for even more free money in the form of a large supplemental grant!  With such a supplemental grant, even the cost of a large retrofitting job is often free!  Read more about the EBB supplemental grant!

EBB Program Explanation Video

Here’s also a link to a great video from Abc7 explaining from the EBB program – this video is narrated by Janiele Maffei, the Chief Mitigation Officer for the California Earthquake Authority, and the Executive Director of the EBB program!
