Earthquake Retrofit Rebates
Get up to $3,000 to strengthen your foundation
Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) helps homeowners lessen the potential for damage during an earthquake. Sign up by December 1 to receive a grant of up to $3,000 for a seismic retrofit. Earthquake Brace + Bolt is open to owner-occupied single-family residences and small multifamily buildings (2-4 units) in Alameda and other eligible zip codes. Qualifying applicants will be entered into a lottery for the funding. For the first time, additional grant funding will also be available to households whose annual incomes are at or below $72,080. Sign up online or by calling (877) 232-4300.
Alameda's Residential Rehabilitation Program also provides grants for low income homeowners to upgrade their home for earthquakes and other health and safety conditions, remediate lead-based paint hazards, extend energy conservation measures, and/or to repair or replace major systems in danger of failure.
