Transform386 to Host Countywide Intake Events to Help Storm-Damaged Homeowners

Posted On: September 25, 2025

Families across Volusia County continue to rebuild their lives after Hurricanes Ian and Milton with help from Volusia County's Transform386 Homeowner Recovery Program. To keep recovery moving forward, Transform386 will host an in-person application intake event from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, at multiple sites throughout the county.

In-person intake assistance will be offered at the following locations:

• Port Orange Regional Library, 1005 City Center Circle
• New Smyrna Beach Regional Library, 1001 South Dixie Freeway
• Deltona Regional Library, 2150 Eustace Ave.
• Daytona Beach Regional Library, 105 Jackie Robinson Parkway
• Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, 123 West Indiana Ave., DeLand, 1st floor training room

At all locations, staff will be available to answer questions, review and provide guidance on needed documentation, and assist applicants step by step. The goal is to ensure that every eligible resident has the necessary support to complete the application successfully.

The Homeowner Recovery Program provides funding to repair or replace homes damaged by Hurricanes Ian and Milton. Homeowners who have already made qualifying storm-related repairs may also be eligible for financial reimbursement assistance. Additionally, under the Milton allocation, two new pathways have been launched: Voluntary Buyout, which helps families relocate with fair compensation, and Match, which provides financial support for state or federal grant programs to strengthen and safeguard homes. Together, these programs are designed to give residents more options and greater flexibility in rebuilding their lives.

As of the end of August, Transform386 has completed 50 construction projects, has 156 projects underway, and has issued 88 reimbursement payments. Residents can review eligibility criteria and apply online at any time at https://www.transform386.org. For additional assistance, disaster case managers are available by phone at 386-943-7029.
