Home Resiliency Program

How it works

Maine law establishes a Home Resiliency Program within and under the direction of the Bureau of Insurance to provide grants to homeowners for home resiliency projects. The statute also creates a nonlapsing Home Resiliency Fund to pay grants and administrative costs.

What the money covers

The law requires the bureau to develop a list of eligible home resiliency projects. The statute excerpt provided here does not list the specific eligible project types, dollar amounts, or whether funds are paid to homeowners or contractors.

Administration

The bureau may contract with other entities for administration and related services.

Timing

The statute says the bureau and administrator were not required to award a grant before May 1, 2026.

Important limitation

The official statute confirms the program exists, but the excerpt available here does not provide the project list, grant amounts, or current application status.
