California recently launched a novel $100-million pilot program in collaboration with or FEMA to pay for home retrofits in high-fire areas.

* By state law many of things that need to be done to truly harden a home based on the NFPA Fire Wise list can only be done legally by a licensed General Contractor.
* Moonlighting Firefighters doing home hardening must be licensed GC’s
* Landscapers are aloud to trim only they are not licensed to be on roofs of installing roof and soffit vents.
* Handyman laws limit the amount of dollars they can charge per day.


If the pilot is successful, the state could launch the program in other high-risk communities as early as 2023, according to Cal OES.

While the program covers all expenses for low-income households, the state also plans to offer partial cost coverage for the same services to middle-income households.
