A combination of fierce nature and human choice to build in harm's way. We have seen it and seen it and seen it again. Enough wasted money, enough wasted memories, enough wasted, senseless, needless pain. These loans will provide homeowners with funds to strengthen and retrofit their homes to minimize damage from the devastating effects of hurricanes. The loans, provided through lenders and purchased by Fannie Mae, enable homeowners to install hurricane shutters on windows, replace roofs, provide additional chimney and foundation supports, elevate homes, and perform other structural support activities.
Interest paid on the loans is fixed for the life of the loan.
We can't prevent hurricanes, but we can prevent hurricane damage. That is why FEMA is here working with Governor Jeb Bush, the Florida Department of Community Affairs and Fannie Mae. We want Florida homeowners to know they don't have to be victims and can now secure loans through Project Impact to help reduce the damage incurred by one of nature's most violent weather events.
