Jeffrey Mikell, a homeowner in the Stratton Capers neighborhood in Dorchester County suffered property damage during Hurricane Ian. He was later told he didn’t qualify for federal assistance, even after his home was destroyed in the storm.
Dorchester County officials informed Mikell that the county did not meet the financial threshold to qualify. A spokesperson for FEMA reported that Dorchester County “was not included in the request for assistance so there are no FEMA disaster relief programs that would apply.” The county determined that Mikell’s home is unsafe and he will most likely sell the property “as is”.
