The Housing Authority of the City of Fort Myers is leading relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian to serve residents of over 1,408 public and subsidized units and 2,400 vouchers in Fort Myers. In the days following the storm, more than 50 of the agency’s community support services and administrative staff went door-to-door to conduct wellness checks and document damage at housing authority units. Maintenance staff tended to immediate needs, including boarding and replacing 73 broken windows, tarping 110 roofs, repairing leaks at approximately 32 units, providing 48 AC unit repairs and collecting garbage at all agency properties. Representatives from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Miami office provided resources. The housing authority continues to distribute 500 meals and water daily at various distribution sites in partnership with the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen and the National Guard. The Fort Myers Fire Department delivered water to several communities, including Horizons Apartments, Bonair Towers and Royal Palm Towers. All housing authority properties have power and water restored. Staff are continuing to assess needs and plan to continue recovery efforts, including cleaning flooded areas, mitigating drywall damage, providing roofing repairs and clearing storm debris.
