Sarasota County homeowners affected by Hurricane Ian are invited to apply for the Resilient SRQ Housing Recovery Program. Sarasota County has been awarded $201.5 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program. Of this, $55 million is allocated to the Housing Recovery Program (HRP), which offers rehabilitation, reconstruction and reimbursement to eligible homeowners. The HRP prioritizes low-to-moderate-income individuals, serving as a crucial funding source to address unmet needs resulting from Hurricane Ian. Homeowners can begin the application progress by completing an interest survey online at ResilientSRQ.net/housing-recovery or by calling 941-861-5309, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The survey must be completed to determine conditional eligibility for the HRP and to receive an invitation for the full application. The full application will be available starting on June 26 for conditionally eligible homeowners who completed the survey.
