Priority in this program is given to households with seniors, households with individuals who have special needs or special accommodations, including individuals with disabilities, and households with homeowners earning less than or equal to 80 percent Area Median Income. Additionally, this program provided priority to households with tenants displaced from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands who permanently resettled in Florida.

Repairs to, reconstruction or replacement of homes, including bringing the home into code compliance and providing resiliency for future storms;

Completion of work to homes that have been partially repaired; and

Repair or replacement of manufactured and mobile homes.
