As ever, check in with the local extension folks.
Although I have not tried it, a friend in Nebraska who had a similar
problem with strong wind got some Idaho Bunch Grass and said it was
terrific for his need. I have no idea of its properties, etc, but a
bit of research may help.

cheers

OP's problem seems to have been that the wind was blowing away the hay that
the landscaper put down to protect the grass seed. Planting some other sort
of grass seed in the same way doesn't seem as if it would be much of a
help. Well, unless the new sort of grass managed to come up to full grown
in a day when the wind wasn't blowing. Maybe crabgrass is the answer... g
