Financing Your Resilient Home

The Resiliency Delta

Building codes establish minimum safety requirements, but they do not always reflect what is needed to make a home more resilient to wildfire, hurricanes, high winds, flooding, and other extreme weather.

Building back after a fire is hard enough, and going beyond code can add costs that may not be fully covered by insurance or traditional financing.

We call that difference the Resiliency Delta: the gap between a standard, code-compliant home and a home built or retrofitted to a higher level of resilience.

Equip yourself with resources and knowledge to reach resiliency standards

We’ve partnered with Pillar to estimate a resilient home upgrade

Pillar provides a specific estimate on what you need to do for resilient home upgrades that translate into insurance discounts.

We bring together communities, technical experts, builders, insurers, financial institutions, philanthropy, and government to develop practical solutions that make resilient rebuilding easier today and more scalable for communities tomorrow.
