The program provides financial grants up to $15,000 per recipient. It also increases fees for filing and processing an agent's certificate of authority, with half the fee deposited into the Strengthen Mississippi Homes Program Fund and half into the State General Fund. The Department of Insurance must submit an annual report detailing program activities and outcomes.
