Rebuild Florida Hurricane Sally Infrastructure Repair Program

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's (DEO) Rebuild Florida Infrastructure Repair Program (IRP) was launched with $67,000,000 to fund infrastructure restoration and improvement projects in communities impacted by Hurricane Sally. The funding is allocated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program to address unmet disaster recovery needs related to damage from Hurricane Sally.
