1. COMPLETE insurance adjuster’s report (must include the adjuster’s contact information). Homeowner can have it emailed directly to msollitto@HabitatSouthSarasota.org or they can bring in a copy.
2. Checks must be brought into the Habitat corporate office with proof of I.D. and endorsed in person.
3. All quotes and contracts from contractors. We will issue payments directly to the contractors, but we need 5-7 business days processing time. If contractor needs a deposit to get work started, we need it to be specified in the contract. Final payment requests must include a final invoice, as well as a statement from the Homeowner that the work was completed to their satisfaction.
4. If Homeowner is doing any repairs themselves (pertaining the dwelling), they will must provide us with a quote or price sheet for the specific items they are requesting payment for and those items MUST be included in the insurance adjuster’s report. After those repairs are completed, Homeowner will be required to provide us with proof (ie: photos or an in-person inspection)
5. Receipts (proof) for anything Homeowner has paid for out-of-pocket that they want to be reimbursed for.
6. Insurance check must be signed over to Habitat and will be put into Homeowner’s escrow account (see Note 1)

 

NOTE 1: If the damage in the insurance adjuster’s report is for anything other than the dwelling itself (ie: shed, fence, etc.), Habitat will sign the check over to the Homeowner(s).

NOTE 2: Any insurance claim money that is left after the repairs are made, will get returned to the Homeowner(s). We cannot use it for payments.

 

Homeowners can contact our Homeowner Services Department if assistance is needed. We will be reviewing case by case basis. All is subject to change.
