The California retrofit grant, offered through the EBB Program, provides financial assistance to homeowners for earthquake retrofitting. Grants of up to $3,000 help cover the cost of installing foundation bolting and bracing systems, which improve a home’s ability to withstand seismic forces.
Eligibility for the grant requires that homes be located in specific high-risk zip codes and built before 1980 with a crawl space. Homeowners must also use licensed contractors and follow program guidelines to qualify.
