Nearly 14,000 Florida homeowners may get state aid to make their homes more windstorm resistant, a top Florida insurance regulator said today.

Florida Chief Financial Officer Adelaide “Alex” Sink said nearly 14,000 recipients of free home inspections will soon receive applications for matching grants along with their inspection reports.

“The 2007 hurricane season is rapidly approaching, and we want to arm these homeowners as quickly as possible with the information they need to protect their homes against the devastating effects of hurricanes,” said Ms. Sink, who oversees the Department of Financial Services.
