Recovery from a major disaster such as Hurricane Ian is a process that can take years. Seniors and adults with disabilities can be especially vulnerable and often face unique challenges, making their recovery even more difficult. The Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida (AAASWFL) is committed to helping seniors and adults with disabilities rebound from their losses and sustain their physical, social, economic, and emotional well-being.
We have been awarded a micro-grant from the Lee County Unmet Needs Long Term Recovery Group (UNLTRG) to help provide ongoing support to older adults and adults with disabilities in Lee County with unmet needs associated with Hurricane Ian.
We are very grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting clients in recovery.
To qualify for this assistance, you must be a Lee County resident age 60+ or age 18+ with a disability. To learn more, call our helpline at 866-413-5337 and ask about our Hurricane Ian Disaster Assistance Program.
We know that the disaster assistance process can be difficult to navigate. Our new Disaster Assistance Coordinator, Patti Teel, is here to help Lee County residents who are still working to recover from Hurricane Ian. She can help assess your eligibility for local assistance, connect you with matching recovery programs and provide application assistance upon request.
Help is just a phone call away!
