The Alabama Department of Insurance published information on the Strengthen Alabama Homes (SAH) program, which has been effective since January 1, 2016, with parts of it amended on June 11, 2024, to be effective January 1, 2025.

The program provides grants of up to $10,000 to Alabama residents to strengthen their homes against wind damage, including high winds and wind-driven rain. The program's objective is to lower insurance rates in Alabama by mitigating as many homes as possible.  Homes with a FORTIFIED™ designation can receive substantial discounts on their homeowners policy premium.
