Department of Labor Allocates $3.75 Million to Help Rebuild Homes and Businesses Affected by the Storm
According to DUE, Florida has received an additional $3.75 million from the Department of Labor to aid in its recovery from Hurricane Ian. This funding will support job placement and career training initiatives in affected areas, helping residents find new employment opportunities. The funds will also be used to repair and rebuild damaged homes and businesses, ensuring the community can return to normalcy.
The hurricane hit Florida in September 2022 and caused a lot of damage. FEMA and the President’s office helped people who were affected by the storm. They offered financial help for temporary housing, fixing homes, and loans to pay for damages not covered by insurance. The government is giving more money to keep helping people recover.

This is the third time the Department of Labor has given Florida money to help with Hurricane Ian recovery. The previous amounts were $15 million in 2022 and $7.5 million in October 2023.
