BACKGROUND:
Background
2560 West Tulsa Drive was severely impacted by Hurricane Ian. The property was rendered unhabitable while the resident worked on the interior repairs & restoration efforts. The resident applied for HMGP assistance to have his home elevated.
HMGP is a 75/25 cost share program that is administered by FDEM on behalf of FEMA. Specific to 2560 West Tulsa Drive, the estimated cost to elevate the home is $364,560 of which FEMA will cover $273,420 (75%) while the homeowner will be responsible for the remaining $91,140 (25%). The homeowner is working with CDBG for applications for SHIP & CDBG-DR funds to assist with the funding of the local match.
Because this is a reimbursement program with the City of Deltona as the applicant and sub-recipient, the City will need to have funding available to pay for the elevation cost estimated at $364,560 and submit for reimbursement draws with FDEM. However, before the elevation project commences, the City will need to receive the local match payment in full from the homeowner, even if SHIP/CDBG-DR funds are not available.
