Strong Homes upgrades disaster-affected homes to meet the IBHS FORTIFIED Home^TM standards for resilient building while adding minimal expense to the cost of construction.

Strong Homes partners provide the engineering, product, and technical resources necessary to upgrade homes rebuilt by nonprofit volunteer organizations serving disaster survivors.

Together, we've rebuilt 80 homes to withstand future disasters in Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama. We anticipate new builds in Mississippi in the near future.
