Florida residents impacted by Hurricanes Helene and/or Milton may be eligible for financial assistance through the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross is providing financial assistance to Floridians whose homes suffered major damage or were destroyed by the hurricanes and who still face obstacles in their recovery.
Red Cross financial assistance is not a loan and does not need to be repaid.
Residents may have already received an invitation to complete an application for financial assistance through the Red Cross.
If you received an invitation, you can complete the entire process virtually by clicking on the enrollment link or by texting/calling 1-800-733-2767 to enroll, confirm eligibility and receive financial assistance.
Residents who did not receive an invitation from the Red Cross but whose home experienced major damage or was destroyed can visit the American Red Cross Milton page and Helene page .
Red Cross representatives will be on-site at the Family Services Center to answer questions and assist residents with in-person applications from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday.
The Family Services Center is located at 21500 Gibraltar Drive in Port Charlotte.
