Household Resilience Program Phase 4

The Household Resilience Program provides funding to help eligible homeowners improve the resilience of their homes against cyclones.

Eligible homeowners can apply to receive a Queensland Government grant of up to $15,000 to put towards building upgrades.

This is a 2-stage eligibility process. Visit www.qld.gov.au/strongerhomes for more information.
