Income Based Roof Program

The Escambia County Community Redevelopment Agency’s Income Based Roof program provides residential roof replacement services to income-qualifying homeowners located within Escambia County’s Community Redevelopment Agencies. The intent of the program is to both eliminate blight and improve public health and safety. Eligible applicants may receive assistance towards 100% of roof replacement services based on income eligibility set by the 2023 Escambia County Area Median Income Guidelines. Funding is based on availability and will be provided on a first come, first served basis. All services provided under this program will be conducted by a licensed and insured contractor provided by the CRA. Funding for this program is provided by Tax Incremental Financing (TIF). The Income Based Roofing Program is a one-time service per property owner.
