The Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) Program is a California initiative that helps homeowners reduce earthquake damage risk by providing grants for retrofitting older homes. These retrofits strengthen the connection between a house and its foundation, specifically targeting homes built before 1980 that may lack proper bracing or bolting. The program offers grants of up to $3,000 to cover the costs of approved seismic upgrades.
This initiative, managed by the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP), aims to enhance safety for homeowners in earthquake-prone areas.
