FLORIDA REAL ESTATE ATTORNEYS
Last week, HUD announced that it was granting $615.9 million dollars in grant funds to the State of Florida to help us recover from damages caused by Hurricane Irma floods. This comes after a November grant of $5 billion for Texas hurricane damages.
The funds, almost $616 million, are to be spread out through the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and is set to give hurricane assistance for housing damages by Irma, business losses, and damage to infrastructure.
If you experienced serious damage due to Hurricane Irma, to either your property or your business, then you may be eligible to receive the hurricane relief funds set up by HUD.
If you require assistance, call one of the many numbers set up by the State of Florida and HUD. Or call us.
Florida residents may also call their recovery assistance representatives to see if they are eligible. This information can be found by visiting http://www.hud.gov and http://espanol.hud.gov.
