DADE CITY – Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco has launched its ReBuild Program, a disaster recovery and home repair initiative developed in response to the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
In the wake of these storms and the flooding that followed, many families in East Pasco continue to face unsafe living conditions, housing instability and emotional distress.
The ReBuild Program was created to meet these urgent needs and provide a pathway to long-term recovery and resilience.
With support from the American Red Cross and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, the ReBuild Program will offer critical home repairs to low-income families still struggling to recover. Services will prioritize safety, sanitation and structural integrity, helping residents stay in their homes and regain a sense of normalcy.
“East Pasco was hit hard, and for many, the recovery is still ongoing,” said Kathy Proulx, development manager at Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco. “Much of the county forgets that there are families still living with holes in their roofs, mold in the homes and unfinished projects. We want to help as many families as we can in the next 9 -12 months and lead the way in restoring community wellbeing.”
Repairs may include storm-damaged roofing, electrical and plumbing systems, mold remediation and other structural or safety-related work. Priority will be given to seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities and families with children.
Applications for the ReBuild Program are now open.
Homeowners in East Pasco affected by the storms can visit habitatpasco.org/help/ or email Linda Moscardelli at for application information.
