NAPLES, Fla. - Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement in support of today's announcement by FEMA to provide temporary housing to eligible Hurricane Ian survivors in Collier and Lee Counties.

"Hundreds, if not thousands, of Florida District 19 residents are now facing the devastating fear of prolonged homelessness or displacement following the catastrophic damage resulting from Hurricane Ian. Since making landfall, I've worked around the clock with the Governor's office, FEMA, the SBA, and local leaders to avert a housing crisis in our district.

"Today's announcement by FEMA is a significant step in the right direction. Southwest Florida is incredibly grateful for Governor DeSantis' leadership in requesting this vital aid and FEMA, who answered our plea for lifesaving assistance. My office will continue working with all parties to oversee a speedy and efficient allocation of these resources."
