\"\"Homeowners can apply for grants to make necessary repairs.\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Orange County, Fl. \u2014 <\/strong>With the long-awaited arrival of federal funding, Orange County is now able to help homeowners who were negatively impacted by Hurricane Ian. The County today announced a new program, Orange County Recovers<\/em><\/strong>, that allows low-to-moderate-income homeowners with unresolved damage from the 2022 storm to apply online for grants beginning March 5. This program is available to homeowners throughout Orange County, including residents in municipalities within Orange County.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Ian devastated southwest Florida, making landfall on September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 hurricane, causing more than $300 million in major damage across Orange County. Orange County Recovers<\/em><\/strong> offers housing repair, replacement, or full reconstruction which will be funded as a grant to the homeowner. The county will select the vendors and pay them directly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHurricane Ian impacted many Orange County homeowners who still have not been able to repair their properties,\u201d said Mitchell Glasser, Manager of Orange County\u2019s Housing and Community Development Division. \u201cOrange County Recovers<\/em><\/strong> will help Orange County homeowners complete the necessary repairs to restore their property.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2023, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced an allocation of $2.7 billion to help underserved communities in hard hit areas throughout Florida recover from disasters. Orange County received a total of $219.7 million in Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery funds to address public infrastructure, facilities, housing, and more.<\/p>\n
