Background:
In September 2022, Florida was impacted by Hurricane Ian. Seminole County, along with other impacted communities across the state, experienced economic and housing impacts as a result. As authorized by 42 U.S.C 113654a(c)(1), HUD has determined to make a special allocation of ESG funding to Seminole County to address the needs of homeless individuals and families or individuals and families at risk of homelessness in areas affected by a major disaster declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) on or after December 20, 2019, whose needs are not otherwise served or fully met by existing Federal disaster relief programs, including the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program under such Act (42 U.S.C. 5170b). Seminole County received $386,784 in special ESG Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (RUSH) funds in December 2022. HUD has recently notified Seminole County of a second RUSH award in the amount of $125,578.
BAR #24-064 in the amount of $125,578 appropriates budget for the grant. There is no match requirement for this grant.
