HUD

Officials from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development came to Fort Myers Beach Wednesday to make the announcement: Floridians impacted by Hurricane Ian may have an opportunity to rebuild the homes and lives with a federal infusion of $2.8 billion in cash. Of that, Lee County will get $1. 1 billion.

Around one million dollars for homeless people waits for local governments’ approval. Collier County agencies for the homeless criticize local governments for what they say is a delay in releasing those funds to help those who lost their homes in Hurricane Ian.
