Supporting Home Safety and Resilience

Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County announces a grant from State Farm® to help better prepare Central Floridians for the upcoming hurricane season. Specifically, the grant will be utilized to purchase smoke alarms and hurricane roofing materials for Habitat homes.

The grant helps future homeowners like Joselyn achieve their goal of a safe place to live and thrive for generations.

"When I think about home, I think of cozy, comfortable, safe," said Joselyn, who is set to move into her home next month with her two sons. "This home will open doors for me and my kids, letting them know that if mom did it, we can do it."

State Farm and Habitat Orlando & Osceola have a long history of collaboration, and this marks a continuation of their partnership. In 2023, State Farm provided financial support to aid in hurricane preparedness efforts.

“Together, Habitat Orlando & Osceola and State Farm are working toward creating a safer and more secure environment for families and individuals,” said Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County President & CEO Catherine Steck McManus. “Helping members of our Central Florida community stay in safe, affordable housing is one of the ways we continue to Face The Housing Crisis™.”
