Hurricane Disaster Relief Programs

Pasco County Community Development is now accepting applications for Hurricane Disaster Relief for low- and moderate-income citizens who have suffered loss or damage of their primary residence due to a disaster as declared by the President of the United States or the Governor of Florida. Hurricane Disaster Relief funds are not directly paid to the applicant.  Funds are paid to new landlord or contractor that completes the repairs.

Apply on-line here or download the hurricane application here. 

You can submit your application in the following ways:

• In person at the Community Development Office during regular business hours.
• Email to communitydev@mypasco.net
• Fax to 727-834-3450

If you need assistance in completing the applications, please call us at 727-834-3447.

Funds may be used for items such as, but not limited to:

1. Rental Assistance ($25,000 Maximum)
2. Home Repairs ($25,000 Maximum)

Applicants are subject to income qualification and eligibility verification.

This strategy will only be implemented following a disaster as declared by the President of the United States or the Governor of Florida. These funds are intended to supplement other Federal, State, or Insurance benefits, and are a one-time grant award.

Specific eligibility questions may be directed to Mari Thieryung, Housing Programs Manager, Pasco County Community Development. She may be reached at mthieryung@mypasco.net or 727-834-3447.
