Report: The Florida Home Insurance Crisis

How Ron DeSantis Sold Out Florida Homeowners:
Insurance Rates Soar, Corporations Profit, Campaign Cash Floods In 

The AFT partnered with The Hedge Clippers campaign, and other organizations, to release a groundbreaking report exposing the pay-to-play scheme at the heart of Florida’s homeowners’ insurance crisis.

Floridians are suffering. The Sunshine State’s homeowner insurance rates are nearly triple the national average, and rapid increases have forced homeowners to forego insurance at almost twice the national rate. Home insurance is particularly critical in Florida, where communities vulnerable to climate change face increasingly frequent and severe hurricanes and other weather events.

Communities of color and low-income neighborhoods with significant climate risks face crumbling infrastructure, soaring insurance
premiums, and a lack of public investment.

The DeSantis administration accelerated this crisis.
