📰 News we're reading

• Florida homeowners can tap new repair fund for leaks, faulty wiring, and accessibility upgrades (thecooldown.com) — Plant City homeowners struggling with serious home repair or accessibility issues can now apply for Hillsborough County's Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program, which specifically serves Plant City, Temple Terrace, and unincorporated areas. The program can fund major repairs, weatherization, and even full rebuilds in severe cases, as long as residents meet income limits and have lived in their homesteaded home for at least two years.
