Establishes the Strengthen Hawaii Homes Program to provide grants to single-family homeowners for windstorm damage mitigation.
The Strengthen Hawaii Homes Act establishes the Strengthen Hawaii Homes Program within the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The program aims to award grants to single-family homeowners to offset the cost of retrofitting their homes to protect against wind damage. Eligible homeowners must obtain bids from at least three certified contractors and ensure their homes meet specific criteria, including having an in-force wind insurance policy. The program will be funded through a special fund, which will receive federal grants, state appropriations, and other funding sources.
