TRAILERS TAKEN: Some, but not all Ian survivors asked to leave Bonita RV park

Some people at the Gulf Coast Camping Resort in Bonita Springs are scrambling to find housing in just a few weeks.

The Unite Florida program, which has provided temporary travel trailers for 22 months to people displaced by Hurricane Ian, will end in July.

Monday, Fox 4’s Anvar Ruziev spoke with people in Iona who say they need more time to find a place to live. Watch that report here:

In his reporting, Ruziev found other RV parks, like the Gulf Coast Camping Resort, are allowing certain residents to stay and pay lot rent in Unite Florida donated RVs. However, not every residents has been approved to stay. Linda Luck is one of them.

“We were told that we were going to get a title to the trailer as a donation from Unite Florida, as long as the park approved us,” Luck said.

Many residents only discovered this month that the park denied their requests to stay, and now they say they don’t have enough time to look for a new home.
