Your application paperwork
The California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP), a joint effort of the California Earthquake Authority and the state, runs the seismic retrofit grant programs for homeowners, including Earthquake Brace and Bolt. The grants help pay to bolt an older house to its foundation and brace its cripple walls. You register through CRMP during an open enrollment window for the retrofit program your home qualifies for.
Steps to apply
- Confirm your home is an older wood-framed house with a raised foundation that may need a seismic retrofit.
- Visit the CRMP site to see which retrofit program (such as Earthquake Brace and Bolt) fits your home and area.
- Register during the open enrollment window and answer the qualifying questions.
- If accepted, hire a contractor for the retrofit, then submit documentation to receive the grant.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own and live in the home, with its year built and foundation type.
- Your home's ZIP code to confirm eligibility.
- For an income-based supplemental grant, proof of household income.
- Contractor documentation and photos of the completed retrofit.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
