Resilient SRQ Housing Recovery Program

How it works

Sarasota County’s Resilient SRQ Housing Recovery Program provides assistance to homeowners for repair, rebuilding, and reimbursement after qualifying hurricanes. The county says the program initially launched for Hurricane Ian and later expanded to homeowners affected by Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton.

What the money covers

The county says the program offers help with repairing or rebuilding homes or reimbursing eligible out-of-pocket expenses. Earlier county messaging described the program as covering rehabilitation, reconstruction, and reimbursement for eligible homeowners.

Amounts and matching

The official news page says the county has allocated $55 million to the Housing Recovery Program for the Hurricane Ian allocation and an additional $33.3 million is proposed for the 2024 storms. It does not state a per-home maximum on the page.

How it works for homeowners

The county says homeowners can submit a homeowner interest survey online. The county’s news release says the program is funded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery funding.

Timing and status

The page says the program opened in 2024 and later expanded in 2025. It is tied to qualifying disaster damage rather than ongoing annual availability.

Important note

This is a disaster recovery program, not a general home-hardening rebate, but it is relevant because it can pay for eligible repairs and reconstruction after hurricanes.
