Escambia County sites include Bayview Senior Center and the county Central Office Complex and Cokesbury Church in Pensacola; Santa Rosa County sites are the Administrative Complex in Milton and Bray-Hendricks Park in Jay. The sites are scheduled to operate through Wednesday, Nov. 4, with hours varying by location and initial Sunday hours listed for Escambia sites. Assistance may cover temporary housing, home repairs and other disaster-related needs, with programs also including crisis counseling, disaster unemployment assistance, legal services and case management.
