Summary
The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners approved construction agreements totaling $180,000,000 under the Rebuilding for Tomorrow program (CDBG-DR) to repair or reconstruct storm-damaged single-family homes; the county expects HUD reimbursement and posted application details online.
Hillsborough County commissioners on June 3 approved construction agreements totaling $180,000,000 to repair or reconstruct approved applicants’ storm-damaged single-family homes through the county’s Rebuilding for Tomorrow program, the county said.
County officials described the program as the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) single-family housing program and said the funding will be reimbursed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Officials encouraged eligible residents to apply via rebuildingfortomorrow.hcfl.gov.
The county characterized the action as awards of construction agreements; the meeting record provided the total program cost but did not include detailed vote tallies for the approvals. The presentation did not specify a schedule for contract work or an estimated timeline for individual household repairs. The board did not provide further procurement details in the recorded summary.
Next steps announced by staff include posting application materials online and reporting program progress to the board; commissioners did not set a separate public hearing date in the summary presented on June 3.
