Program that pays homeowners to hurricane harden their homes still owes money

Oldsmar homeowner Becky Valine said the check from the state should have arrived months ago. The My Safe Florida Home program approved Valine last summer for a $9,000 grant toward the more than $14,000 she paid for hurricane windows. The popular grant matches up to 10,000 dollars of homeowner costs to harden their homes against hurricanes. Approved applicants receive $2 for every dollar they spend on eligible home strengthening improvements.

Not low income but gets $9k for windows while actual low income residents are kicked off their low income health insurance

I always thought this program was a waste of tax payer funds. You took money away from low income families and paid for wealthy people who live on the water. Just like the program that raises costal houses. Paid for by tax payers for the wealthy who own homes on the coast.
