Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering accepting $317,956 in Emergency Solutions Grant Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing (ESG-RUSH) funds. This grant is intended to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in areas impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The funds are from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are not currently included in the budget. This item is under review and could lead to budget amendments and updates to the HUD 2025 Annual Action Plan. While this is a funding acceptance item, it signals a commitment to recovery and resilience efforts. Businesses involved in housing support, construction, or related services may find opportunities as these funds are deployed to address unmet needs. Early engagement with county officials could provide insight into how these funds will be utilized for recovery projects.
