The Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) Program, jointly administered by the California Earthquake Authority and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, offers eligible homeowners grants for up to $3,000. The grants help offset the cost of seismic retrofits that brace the cripple walls of older homes, when present, and bolt houses to their foundations, making them less vulnerable to earthquake damage.

Eligible Zip Codes in Mendocino County:

95410 (Albion), 95415 (Boonville), 95417 (Branscomb), 95420 (Caspar), 95427 (Comptche), 95428 (Covelo), 95429 (Dos Rios), 95432 (Elk), 95437 (Fort Bragg), 95445 (Gualala), 95449 (Hopland), 95454 (Laytonville), 95585 (Leggett), 95456 (Little River), 95459 (Manchester), 95460 (Mendocino), 95463 (Navarro), 95466 (Philo), 95587 (Piercy), 95468 (Point Arena), 95469 (Potter Valley), 95470 (Redwood Valley), 95482 (Ukiah), 95488 (Westport), 95490 (Willits), and 95494 (Yorkville).

Income-eligible homeowners may also qualify for available supplemental grants. The amounts vary depending on the region and type of retrofit completed. These supplemental grants, which are available for households with an income of $87,360 or less, may be able to provide up to 100% of the funds needed to cover a seismic retrofit.
