STORM FORTIFIED and Wildfire Prepared Act

This bill would authorize $100 million per year from 2027 through 2036 for FEMA to give grants to states to set up revolving loan funds for home storm and wildfire protection. States must add their own money equal to at least 35 percent of the federal grant. The loan funds would lend money at no more than 1 percent interest to state agencies, which must use it for grants to homeowners to install FORTIFIED Roofs or make upgrades meeting FORTIFIED Home or Wildfire Prepared Home standards. Grants would be capped at $10,000 and limited to owner-occupied primary homes, excluding new construction, condominiums, and mobile homes. Repayment or cost-share obligations would be forgiven for homeowners with incomes below 120 percent of the area median income.
