How are Disaster Relief Payment applications prioritized? Sunrise St. Pete’s Disaster Relief Payments help with past costs related to mortgage, rent, or utilities for households earning 80% or less of the area median income that experienced hardship due to the storms.

​ Although applicants may apply to the City to have their homes elevated only when coupled with rehabilitation and reconstruction work, the City does not anticipate elevating homes for households earning more than 80% AMI due the anticipated volume of applicants for all types of repairs, rehab and reconstruction needs, and the priorities established to assist the most vulnerable households first.
