An Act To Increase Storm Preparedness For Maine'S Communities, Homes And Infrastructure

This bill establishes Maine's Home Resiliency Program, which provides grants to homeowners for projects that make homes more resistant to storm damage. The program is funded through a dedicated Home Resiliency Fund, allowing the state to award grants for weather-resistant home improvements like elevating structures or reinforcing roofs. It directly affects homeowners who apply for these grants and have not previously received such funding. The bill creates a formal process for administering applications, verifying eligibility, and ensuring projects meet defined standards for storm resilience.
