Strengthen Minnesota homes program modified, and money appropriated.

Summary

It revises grant requirements so money must be used for retrofitting insurable homes, cannot fund routine maintenance, and must be spent within six months or risk forfeiture. The bill adds a step where the commissioner must certify to the homeowner's insurer that the property meets program standards and notifies the insurer when work is finished. It also directs the commissioner to set eligibility criteria that favor households earning up to 115 % of the area median income and provides a one‑time $35 million appropriation from the general fund.
