Hillsborough County’s Recovery Assistance Program represents a significant opportunity for residents still dealing with storm damage. With substantial federal funding now available, this program offers real help for homeowners who need repairs, rebuilding, or financial relief.
As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Civil Mediator, I regularly handle mediation claims through the Florida Department of Financial Services. I still deal with cases arising from Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and I have seen firsthand how challenging recovery can be for homeowners.
In addition to the State-sponsored mediation program, many residents are unaware that assistance may be available or assume the process is too complicated. In reality, these programs are designed to be accessible and provide meaningful financial support.

This is a good deal for residents. I encourage those affected to review eligibility and apply to the Hillsborough County Disaster Recovery Grant Program.
These funds are intended to help our community rebuild stronger and move forward.
