1 in 8 U.S. Homeowners Aren’t Protected by Homeowners Insurance

This is particularly concerning for regions vulnerable to natural disasters, like floods and wildfires, where the financial consequences of being uninsured can be devastating. With disaster risks on the rise, addressing this gap is crucial to helping homeowners protect their properties and financial futures. Encouraging greater awareness and accessibility to insurance could help close this critical coverage gap. Read the interview here.
