Transform386 Helps Local Homeowner Move Into New Home Just in Time for Holidays

Posted On: December 29, 2025

After years of personal loss, storm damage and housing instability, Debra Groover moved into a new mobile home Friday, Dec. 19, with assistance from Transform386’s Homeowner Recovery Program, just in time for the holiday season.

Groover’s previous mobile home was impacted by flooding from Hurricane Ian and later Hurricane Milton, resulting in extensive damage and ongoing housing uncertainty. Through Transform386’s Homeowner Recovery Program, Groover secured a safe, permanent mobile home before the end of the year. She completed the application process, submitted all required eligibility documentation, signed the necessary agreements and worked closely with program staff throughout the process to make her new home a reality.

“God bless you. I will never forget this program and its kindness,” Groover said. “This is my home, and I can’t wait to get started.”

The Homeowner Recovery Program assists eligible homeowners affected by recent hurricanes. Available pathways include reimbursement for completed repairs, reconstruction, rehabilitation, buyout and match, or mobile home replacement.

Now settled into her new home, Groover is looking ahead with a renewed sense of security. This holiday season, she will celebrate in a place she can finally call home.

Residents who experienced damage from Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Milton may still be eligible for assistance. The application period remains open. For more information about eligibility, available assistance and how to apply, visit transform386.org.
