Clean and Sanitize Assistance Available

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (Oct. 4, 2024) - FEMA has approved Charlotte County to receive Clean and Sanitize Assistance (CSA). Clean and Sanitize Assistance is limited to $300 per eligible household, awarded as a one-time payment following a FEMA home inspection and determination of eligibility. Residents whose homes are habitable but require cleanup actions such as muck out, mold remediation, and limb clearing are eligible to apply for CSA.

The CSA program is intended to address potential health and safety concerns and ensure minimal damage to homes is addressed to prevent additional losses.

This program is not available automatically and must be requested and approved separately while applying for FEMA assistance.

You can apply for FEMA assistance in several ways. Apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov or call the FEMA Helpline 1-800-621-3362, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week. Help is available in many languages.
