6. Approve Disaster Assistance SHIP Grant Agreement

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved a grant agreement for disaster assistance. This agreement provides $60,289 to help at least one very low-income household with home repairs after natural disasters. The funds are part of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. These funds were previously awarded to another organization but were returned to Lee County. The county is now working with a qualified nonprofit partner to use the money for disaster recovery. This project involves providing rehabilitation assistance to a single owner-occupied dwelling. The work would likely include assessment, planning, and construction services for home repairs. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can learn more about this opportunity by contacting the county. Reaching out early before specific plans and bids are finalized may offer an advantage.
