JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Rebuild Florida’s Housing Repair and Replacement Program for Hurricane Irma has completed 3,651 homes. An additional 233 are under construction, and 58 are in pre-construction.
While 10 Investigates has spoken to homeowners who are either still waiting or not happy with the construction on their homes, many homeowners, according to FloridaCommerce, are happy with the way their homes turned out.
The Rebuild Florida website features nine families who made videos explaining how happy they were with the program.
“We’re very grateful for the assistance received from Rebuild Florida after Hurricane Irma damaged our home,” said Angela and Terry Edwards of Deland. “It’s truly a blessing.”
The agency says it ultimately wants to encourage homeowners in the community who are eligible for the Hurricane Ian Housing Repair and Replacement Program that just launched on April 1 to apply for the critical assistance they may need.
“If you’re interested in having your home repaired from Hurricane Irma, reach out to Rebuild Florida — they’re the best! I was very pleased with the work they did and the construction crew that did all of the repairs,” said John Baretela of Palm Bay. “I’d recommend them to anyone.”
