My Safe Florida Home For Wind Inspectors & WCES

A Note for MSFH Inspectors:

A status update on the My Safe Florida Home (MSFH) program.

As many of you know, CFO Sink aggressively lobbied the Legislature to continue funding this tremendously successful program. However, due to budget constraints, the program did not receive funding and will expire on June 30, 2009. CFO Sink is committed to pursuing funding for this historic program again in 2010. My Safe Florida Home will continue to provide Florida's homeowners information on how to strengthen their homes against hurricanes.
