Hillsborough County commissioners on June 3 approved construction agreements totaling $180,000,000 to repair or reconstruct approved applicants' storm-damaged single-family homes under the federally funded Rebuilding for Tomorrow program.
The county said the projects are funded through the Community Development Block Grant — Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) single-family housing program and that the US Department of Housing and Urban Development is expected to reimburse the county for the funds. "Commissioners awarded construction agreements to repair or reconstruct approved applicants' storm damaged homes as part of the county's federally funded rebuilding for tomorrow program," Katie of Hillsborough County Communications said in a meeting recap.
The action directs county contracts for home repairs and rebuilds for households approved by the program; the transcript lists the total program award for these agreements as $180,000,000. The county did not provide a segment-level breakdown of the number of homes to be repaired or the schedule for construction in the meeting recap; those details were not specified in the transcript.
Residents seeking assistance or more information were directed to the Rebuilding for Tomorrow web resources at hcfl.gov. The county said HUD reimbursement is anticipated, but the timeline and payment schedule were not detailed in the meeting summary.
