Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division has State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding available to assist residents who need home repairs, insurance deductible payments, and/or relocation due to displacement as a direct result of Hurricane Milton. Residents must have already filed a claim with their homeowners insurance and applied for FEMA assistance.
Residents interested in applying for assistance must request a phone interview by contacting the Community Assistance Division at 386-736-5955 or communityassistance@volusia.org.
