Residents can apply for Hurricane Housing Recovery funds
Posted On: November 17, 2023
Volusia County received Hurricane Housing Recovery Program funds to assist homeowners impacted by Hurricane Ian or Nicole with owner-occupied rehabilitation. The county’s Community Assistance Division will begin accepting applications from residents who sustained hurricane related damage to their home and still need repairs on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
Residents interestted in applying must contact Community Assistance at 386-736-5955 or communityassistance@volusia.org to schedule a prescreening appointment. These appointments will be used to determine if the applicant and home meet the initial criteria; they do not guarantee assistance into the program. Eligible applicants will be processed based on funding availability.
An eligible household may receive up to $91,000 in owner-occupied rehabilitation assistance. Assistance is provided as a secured loan, and the terms and conditions of the mortgage will be determined upon eligibility.
