The Volusia County Administration Center, where the County Council chambers are located, is in downtown DeLand.

Volusia County has over $4.5 million in State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds available for affordable housing.

The county plans to use the funds mostly for "homeownership counseling; program administration; and housing strategies for homebuyer assistance, emergency repair, and wind hazard mitigation," according to a county news release.

The county will start accepting applications on Nov. 28 and will stop taking applications once the funds run out.

Getting help: Volusia County will help pay for Tropical Storm Ian repairs.

The State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds are from documentary stamp tax collections.

For information on housing programs and applications, people can go to volusia.org/affordable-housing or contact Administrative Specialist Dudley Joseph at (386) 736-5955 extension 12211 or djoseph@volusia.org.
