A picture is worth a thousand words. For Robert Kayian, looking through pictures of the Hurricane Irma aftermath makes it hard for him to even speak “It’s hard to look at it,” Kayian said. Kayian grew up in Tampa and went to Brandon High. His family home of 30 years in Big Pine Key was destroyed during the 2017 storm. It hit as a Category 4 in the Florida Keys before making landfall again on Marco Island. “We entered the Rebuild Florida program shortly after Hurricane Irma destroyed our family home,” Kayian said. But almost seven years later, the Kayians are still waiting to get back home. “The construction took approximately three years with all the delays,” Kayian said. The home is now finished. But the Kayians contract is different from the others that 10 Investigates spent months scouring through. “We were required to rent the home out to a low to medium-income family because we were not occupying the residence at the time the home was destroyed,” Kayian said. Their home is currently in the Rebuild Florida rental program. It requires them to rent the home out to a low to medium-income family for a period of five years.
