You have spent years building a home. It is the center of your life. It may also be the key to your retirement. Home insurance helps protect it, and the hard work you have put into your home. It protects you in case of disaster, injury or theft. Insurance does this by giving you:

• Money to repair or replace your home.
• Money to replace the contents of your home.
• Money to live elsewhere if you must leave your home.

There are three types of home insurance, and the type you choose depends on where you live. They are homeowners, renters and condominium/co-op. If you live in a mobile home, you should purchase homeowners insurance.
