When Standard Insurance Isn’t Enough

Since 1975, the Homeowners Catastrophe Insurance Trust (HCIT) has been a trusted safety net for families across the West. Created by Trustco to provide protection against the perils most home insurance policies exclude—like earthquakes, floods, and landslides—HCIT offers peace of mind when it matters most. With nearly five decades of service and 100% backing by Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, HCIT remains one of the most reliable catastrophe insurance programs available today.
