Why are Hurricane Irma victims in Tampa Bay waiting years for help?
PASCO COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA)  As Hurricane Irma victims continue to wait nearly four years later for help, 8 On Your Side is looking into whats going on with the states Rebuild Florida program. People who were impacted by the storm want to repair or replace their damaged homes. Robin and Melita Scee tell 8 On Your Side the states contractor told them to move all of their belongings into storage containers because they were about to get a replacement home. But according to the family, weeks have passed and, like so many other storm victims, theyre still waiting for the state to deliver on its promise. A tarp has covered the roof of the Scee family home since Hurricane Irma hit in 2017. Robin and Melita say they applied to Rebuild Florida in 2018. Its a state program that repairs or replaces storm damaged homes. Fast forward more than two years, Florida determined they qualify to get a new manufactured house. Two months ago, the Scees say a contractor dropped off two storage containers. They had 30 days to get everything out. Now, they told Investigator Mahsa Saeidi they have no idea when their new home is being delivered. All I want to know is the truth. I want to know what we can expect and when we can expect it, Melita. Were out of our home, were living somewhere else, youre getting no answers from somebody, said Robin Scee. Youre just running in a big circle.  Rebuild Florida received hundreds of millions to help storm victims recover. But families we have met are waiting years for help. 8 On Your Side called Rebuild Florida to get the Scees answers on Tuesday. Weve asked lawmakers that represent Dade City, including U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis, Florida Rep. Randall Maggard and Florida Sen. Danny Burgess, to help. Since Rebuild Florida launched, 4,101 Floridians have qualified to have their storm damaged homes rebuilt or replaced. The latest numbers show 727 projects have been completed. Thats less than one in five. I cant even tell you what its been like, its justits pure hell, said Melita. 8 On Your Side will continue to push for accountability.
