Current status — checked November 1, 2026
On November 1, 2026, the posted Strengthen Alabama Homes grant schedule listed application periods for Mobile and Baldwin counties (including October 2026 and scheduled 2027 rounds). Montgomery County was not listed among the announced application periods. This means no Montgomery County application window was open or announced on the checked schedule. It does not mean Montgomery County can never participate — program availability can change as the state updates the schedule.
We are a roofing company, not the program administrator. We do not accept grant applications, hold application slots, or determine eligibility. Montgomery County homeowners should rely on the official program source for any open or future application window.
How the Strengthen Alabama Homes Program Works
A factual overview of the state-administered wind-mitigation grant, its FORTIFIED Roof objective, and its award rules.
Strengthen Alabama Homes is a state-administered program that provides residential wind-mitigation grants to help eligible Alabama homeowners pay for qualifying work. The program's objective is a FORTIFIED Roof designation — the roof-level IBHS standard — rather than a Silver or Gold upgrade.
- Eligibility is determined by the program's official requirements, not by a roofing company.
- Eligible homeowners work with an independent FORTIFIED Evaluator and a qualified contractor selected under the program's rules.
- Required documentation, including evaluator verification, must be submitted as the program specifies.
- Grant awards and work authorization follow the program's published procedures and available funding.
Award amounts and what they cover
The official program currently describes awards up to $10,000 toward qualifying FORTIFIED Roof work, subject to its rules and available funding. An award does not guarantee that an entire project is fully paid for — a homeowner may still be responsible for costs above the award, deductibles, or work the program does not cover. Any current figures should be confirmed directly with the program.
Property and Application Requirements
Verified restrictions under the currently published program rules — homeowners must confirm all requirements directly with the program.
Under the currently published program rules, the program focuses on eligible owner-occupied single-family primary residences. Based on those published rules:
Generally eligible
Eligible owner-occupied single-family primary residences that meet the program's property and application conditions.
Generally excluded
Townhomes, condominiums, rental properties, and mobile or manufactured homes are excluded under the currently published rules.

- Check the official Strengthen Alabama Homes grant announcements for any Montgomery County application window.
- Understand the FORTIFIED Roof requirements your project would need to meet if a future window opens.
- Review your current roof's condition so you know what a FORTIFIED project would involve.

- Consider planning a FORTIFIED Roof project independently of any unconfirmed grant funding.
We do not reserve grant funding. A roofing quote through this website is a roofing inquiry, not a grant application, and it does not hold a place in any program round. All grant applications go through the official Strengthen Alabama Homes process.
Strengthen Alabama Homes Grant FAQs
Direct answers based on the official program, verified November 1, 2026.
Is Strengthen Alabama Homes currently accepting Montgomery County applications?
As of November 1, 2026, the posted grant schedule did not list a Montgomery County application period. Applications were announced for Mobile and Baldwin counties. Montgomery County homeowners should check the official schedule for any future update rather than assuming an open window.
Which counties appear on the current grant schedule?
On the checked schedule, Mobile and Baldwin counties had announced application periods (including October 2026 and scheduled 2027 rounds). The program may expand or adjust the schedule over time; the official grant schedule page is the authoritative source.
What roofing work can the program support?
The program's objective is a FORTIFIED Roof designation — the roof-level IBHS standard. Qualifying work is evaluated through an independent FORTIFIED Evaluator and a contractor selected under the program's rules, and the program describes awards up to $10,000 toward that work subject to its rules and funding.
Does the grant guarantee a completely free new roof?
No. An award helps fund qualifying work up to the program's limits; it does not guarantee the entire project is free. Costs above the award, deductibles, or work the program does not cover may remain the homeowner's responsibility.
Who pays for the FORTIFIED evaluation?
The program's rules describe how evaluation and other costs are handled, including what the award covers versus what a homeowner may owe. Confirm current cost responsibilities directly with the program and your evaluator.
Can rental properties, townhomes, or manufactured homes qualify?
Under the currently published rules, the program focuses on eligible owner-occupied single-family primary residences and excludes townhomes, condominiums, rentals, and mobile or manufactured homes. Eligibility can change, so verify the latest rules with the program.
Where can homeowners check official application updates?
On the official Strengthen Alabama Homes website, including the grant schedule page. That source is authoritative for application windows, eligible counties, and program requirements — not this roofing website.
