Half a year later, while most roads have been cleared and many structures repaired, hundreds of homes remain uninhabitable. That\u2019s what prompted <a href=\"\/history\/faculty\/guerin\/\">Adam Guerin, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of <a href=\"\/history\/\">history<\/a> at Eckerd, to lead a group of eight students, including Tay, to Harlem Heights, a neighborhood just east of Fort Myers. When Guerin and his group returned to Eckerd after three days, Katarzyna Nowacki \u201917, Eckerd\u2019s <a href=\"\/safety\/ecert\/\">Emergency Response Team<\/a> coordinator, led another group of five Eckerd students to the same location.<\/p>\n<p>Supervising the students\u2019 work were members of Cypress Missions, a New Jersey\u2013based nonprofit. \u201cThey\u2019re retired contractors and people who have done construction work and know how to network,\u201d Guerin explains. \u201cAfter natural disasters, they go out to the sites and provide relief, usually to the working class neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere we went, every third house was in disrepair. The residents are mostly Latino immigrants. There was a lot of need. One woman whose house was destroyed got a $40,000 payout. That\u2019s not going to go very far, but with free labor, you can get a lot of work done. We re-floored the entire house. Most of the students had some kind of basic experience, and then they just kind of learned on the job.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221;

As of March, about 240,000 of those claims, or 34% of the total, were either rejected or remain unpaid. So even if a homeowner had insurance, there was no guarantee they would be awarded the money to rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>Nic Silard, a sophomore <a href=\"\/environmental-studies\/\">environmental studies<\/a> student from Annapolis, Maryland, says he saw that dilemma firsthand. \u201cI was looking for something different to do over spring break, and I thought nothing could be better than helping with hurricane relief because it was so close to home,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was supposed to happen to us here at Eckerd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were on the highway going down there, and as we got close, you could see a lot of signs still mangled. And then the damage to the houses. One house would be pretty well repaired, but the next house was completely gutted.\u201d Nic spent his time installing drywall and insulation at the home of the 80-year-old grandmother.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lg_text&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"accent-color\">\u201cIt\u2019s clear the people in that area are going to be recovering another six months,\u201d Nic adds. \u201cAnd maybe after that, too.
