Housing Recovery Program
About the Program
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has allocated $201.5 million to Sarasota County Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), known as Resilient SRQ, to aid the long-term recovery from Hurricane Ian for low-to-moderate income individuals. This program has $55 million allocated to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing for residents affected by the disaster. Funds will be available for rehabilitation, reconstruction, or reimbursement for homes damaged during Hurricane Ian. If your home sustained damaged from Hurricane Ian, you may be eligible for assistance.
