Need help paying for Hurricane Ian repairs? Volusia County offers in-person guidance
County residents still have time to apply for a Hurricane Ian repair program, and officials will be available at multiple locations this month to help applicants.
Employees with the county government's Transform386 program will be on hand at multiple sites this month to help people apply for the Hurricane Ian Homeowner Recovery Program.
"These efforts aim to help individuals apply for aid and allow those who have submitted applications but need to provide additional documentation to do so in person," according to the county.
The Hurricane Ian Homeowner Recovery Program will fund repairs and provide reimbursements for repair expenses. People must meet income criteria and other requirements to be eligible.
Transform386 staff will be on hand at the following times and locations:
Tuesdays from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Daytona Beach Regional Library at 105 E. Magnolia Ave.
Wednesdays from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Port Orange Regional Library at 1005 City Center Circle.
Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Deltona Regional Library at 2150 Eustace Ave.
Fridays, except for Good Friday on March 29, from noon to 4:30 p.m. at the New Smyrna Beach Regional Library at 1001 S. Dixie Freeway.
The team will also be available at the Black Family Wellness Expo from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday at the John H. Dickerson Community Center at 308 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Daytona Beach.
The funding for the program is from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery program.
The county hasn't set an application deadline but is encouraging people to apply as soon as possible.
For information, people can go to transform386.org or call 386-943-7029.
