Miami Beach Offers $20K to Fight Flooding

Residents of Miami Beach can now apply for up to $20,000 in matching funds to "floodproof" their homes. This program is a key component of the city's "Rising Above" initiative, designed to bolster climate resilience in a community highly vulnerable to flooding from King Tides, storms, and sea level rise. The city aims to help property owners assess and implement improvements to mitigate these risks.

Qualifying low- to moderate-income households may receive full project funding up to $20,000, with no matching contribution required. Income thresholds are defined by HUD guidelines for Miami-Dade County. To be considered, applicants must submit a property elevation certificate, proof of flood insurance, and ownership documentation, among other requirements. The application deadline is April 24, 2026. Funding is awarded based on available resources, and submission does not guarantee selection.
