First, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your brother. That must have bee absolutely awful for you all.
As for your daughter, these conversation camps don’t work. Even the most orthodox Catholics will most likely agree that sexual orientation cannot be changed. The techniques used are invariably abusive and can cause permanent trauma. E.g. electric shocks, emetic drugs, that sort of thing. It’s the kind of treatment we wouldn’t subject convicted criminals to.
I’d also say, if your husband is serious about this, you should take steps to ensure your daughter’s safety. There are plenty of entirely credible accounts of how some of these camps operate. The pattern seems to be that two large men come into the house in the middle of the night. Sometimes the child has been drugged beforehand. The child is taken out of bed, handcuffed, and carried to a vehicle. They are driven to another location, where they are strip searched and given new clothes. Then they are driven or even flown to a remote location, often Utah. The first time I read about this, I thought perhaps it was made up. Then I read an account from the parent’s point of view, and they said exactly the same thing - that this was what they had paid people to do to their child. And then I discovered that there are plenty of accounts that are all similar enough to provide evidence of a pattern, but different enough that they’re clearly genuine. So, be careful. Your husband may be able to have your daughter kidnapped from your home and taken to one of these camps forcibly. Once there, there’s nothing they can really do about it. They’re in the middle of the desert with no cell phone, no internet, inadequate clothing, inadequate water if they wanted to escape.
P.S. I know this sounds mad, but this does actually happen in the US. I don’t think you actually say you are in the US, but I am guessing you are from some of the things you say.
