Description
Resilient Retrofits is administered by the Office of Resilient Homes and Communities (RHC), part of New York State Homes and Community Renewal. Round 4 funds local program administrators to help low- and middle-income single-family homeowners whose homes have sustained, or are likely to sustain, flood damage or other extreme-weather impacts. The goal is to reduce displacement through proactive home improvements.
Supported work includes closing living space below base-flood elevation, installing flood vents and back-water valves, and raising mechanical equipment. Energy improvements may accompany flood-resilience measures, including insulation, efficient fixtures and appliances, electric cold-climate heat pumps, and paired solar panels or battery backup. Administrators coordinate homeowner outreach, financing, assessments, counseling, and construction oversight.
