Last Chance to Apply for ReBuild NC Homeowner Recovery Program Before April 21
[83051]
The ReBuild NC Homeowner Recovery Program is currently accepting applications until 5 p.m. on Friday, April 21st. This program is aimed at assisting eligible North Carolinians affected by Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Florence with repairing and rebuilding their homes through the state’s HUD Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding.
Director Laura Hogshead of the N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency expressed that ReBuild NC is focused on helping families impacted by these devastating hurricanes to return home as soon as possible. This is the last chance for eligible homeowners who have not yet applied for assistance to receive aid through the Homeowner Recovery Program. Federal funding is already committed to applications currently in process, as well as those expected in the weeks ahead.
Since June 2020, the Homeowner Recovery Program has worked tirelessly to repair, rebuild, and elevate homes damaged by hurricanes Matthew and Florence. The program has already completed homes for 1,048 families located in communities throughout eastern North Carolina.
