PASCO COUNTY, FL  —-  Pasco County’s Office of Disaster Recovery and Resources wants to hear from you!  We’re thrilled to announce that Pasco County will be receiving $585.7 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program.

Now, we need your input on how this money will help your community recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricanes Idalia, Helene, and Milton.  This historic funding can be used for things like infrastructure improvement, affordable housing initiatives, and economic revitalization.

We’re hosting several public workshops around the county, including three in April,to gather ideas and feedback on how best to allocate these funds.  Your voice matters in shaping our draft action plan, ensuring that resources are directed where they’re needed most:
