HB1395 Repeals Wildfire Resilient Homes Grant Program
Summary
Colorado House Bill 1395 repeals the Wildfire Resilient Homes Grant Program administered by the Department of Public Safety. The bill transfers the remaining balance of the program's dedicated cash fund to the state's general fund. The legislation passed the House on April 9, 2026, with unanimous committee support.
What changed
Colorado HB1395 eliminates the Wildfire Resilient Homes Grant Program and its associated cash fund. The Department of Public Safety will no longer administer grants for wildfire resilience activities. Any unspent balance remaining in the program's dedicated fund is redirected to the state's general fund.
For applicants, current grantees, and organizations relying on this program for wildfire mitigation funding, immediate planning for alternative funding mechanisms is necessary. The Department of Public Safety should initiate wind-down procedures for pending applications and active grants.
What to do next
- Determine if any pending grant applications or awarded grants are affected by the repeal
- Identify alternative funding sources for wildfire resilience projects previously eligible under the program
- Review budget impact of transferred cash fund balance
