The South Carolina program providing aid to homeowners who strengthen their houses against storm damage should be mailing out grants within the next 30 days, according to a spokesperson for the State Insurance Department.

Ann Roberson, speaking for the department, said plans are in the works to give the program a major public relations effort within two or three weeks.

Under the mitigation program--which was part of the Omnibus Coastal Property Insurance Act, passed earlier this year--homeowners can receive up to $5,000 in state money, depending on the value of their home and income level.
