Home Grants for Storm and Wildfire Protection
The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is currently reviewing this bill. It has not moved since August 20, 2026, and it must receive a vote from this committee before it can proceed further. Most bills do not advance past this stage of the process.
While the bill has support from both parties, it is a new spending program that has just started the long process of moving through House committees.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
The program only helps owner-occupied primary residences, so renters cannot apply for grants even if their building is at risk from storms or wildfires. Landlords of rental units are also excluded from this specific benefit.
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Introduced in House
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
U.S. Reps. Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA), Mike Ezell (R-MS), and Salud Carbajal (D-CA) introduced the STORM FORTIFIED and Wildfire Prepared Act to establish funding to help states finance homeowner mitigation projects to reach FORTIFIED Roof and Wildfire Prepared Home certifications.
A new bipartisan proposal in Congress would provide homeowners with up to $10,000 to upgrade their roofs and protect against wildfires, a move supporters say will stabilize the insurance market and lower premiums for families in high-risk areas.
