2027: statewide grants expected, pending a legislative fix.
π A proposed MID rule (comments close Oct 29) would require Hancock, Harrison & Jackson County homes to be in areas enforcing current building codes. As of spring 2026 reports, Bay St. Louis, Diamondhead, Waveland, Biloxi, Long Beach & Pass Christian were in good shape. Rules are proposed and may change.
