💰 Don’t Just Repair, Recover Smartly
After Hurricanes Helene and Milton, thousands of Florida homeowners are asking:
“How do I actually afford to rebuild?”
At Homes Built Stronger, we simplify the funding process so you can focus on what matters: getting your home and life back.
🧾 Step 1: Maximize Your Insurance Settlement
Most homeowners accept too little, too fast. Don’t assume your first offer is final.
✅ Claim Boosting Tips:
Review your claim statement line by line
Hire a licensed public adjuster (they work on contingency)
Use photos, contractor quotes & receipts to build your case
🏛 Step 2: Use SBA Disaster Loans to Bridge the Gap
SBA loans aren’t just for businesses; they’re one of the top tools for storm recovery.
🔹 SBA Home Disaster Loans:
Who Qualifies: Homeowners in declared disaster zones
What It Covers: Structural damage, appliances, and personal items
Terms: Up to 30 years, interest rates as low as 1.5%–4%
💡 Apply directly at sba.gov/disaster
🔧 Step 3: Explore Renovation-Friendly Loan Programs
For rebuilds, flood-proofing, or full home upgrades, renovation loans offer structure and control.
🛠 FHA 203(k) Loan:
Combine mortgage + renovation in one loan
Funds released in stages as work progresses
Great for code-compliant rebuilds
🧱 Fannie Mae Homestyle Loan:
Covers cosmetic + structural work
Works for primary or secondary homes
Great for modular or elevated homes.
💡 Step 4: Alternative & Short-Term Financing
Need fast, flexible money for minor repairs?
💳 Options to Explore:
HELOC: Borrow from your home’s equity on demand
0% Interest Credit Cards: Great for appliances, fixtures, tools
→ Just repay before rates reset!
🏠 Step 5: Talk to Your Mortgage Servicer
Not ready for new debt? Adjust your existing loan:
💼 Mortgage Relief Options:
Forbearance Plans: Pause or reduce monthly payments
Loan Modifications: Extend term, lower rate, or reduce payment
💡 Many lenders launched post-Hurricane relief programs after March 2025: ask what’s available now.
🏛 Step 6: Don’t Miss Out on Grant Programs
Free money is out there: you just need to know where to look.
🔍 Start Here:
FEMA Grants (including elevation or mitigation grants)
State & County Disaster Relief Funds
Local nonprofits with rebuild funding
💡 Use DisasterAssistance.gov to check what’s active by zip code.
🔄 Smart Strategy: Stack & Sequence Your Resources
You don’t need one big solution, you need the right combination:

Use insurance to fund immediate repairs
Stack SBA + 203(k) for rebuilding + code upgrades
Use HELOC or credit card for final touches
Apply for grants to reduce loan burden
