About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) in its Denver, CO research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides funding following a Presidentially declared disaster to help communities reduce future disaster risks. Homeowners cannot apply directly, local governments and counties apply on behalf of residents. Colorado's DHSEM administers the program. Projects can include elevation, flood-proofing, wind retrofits, and safe room construction. The 75% federal/25% local cost share makes this accessible when a local government sponsors the application.

Benefit depends entirely on the specific project scope. Homeowners pay 0-25% depending on local government structure. Contact Jefferson or Denver County emergency management after a declared disaster.
