Hurricane Helene Housing Recovery Program

Rehabilitation for homes damaged by Hurricane Helene.

Renew NC is North Carolina’s long-term disaster recovery effort. 

The Renew NC Single-Family Housing Program offers reconstruction, manufactured housing unit replacement, or rehabilitation for homes damaged by Hurricane Helene.

To be eligible to apply, you must have owned the home when Hurricane Helene made landfall on September 27, 2024, and the damaged property must have been your primary residence; you must still own the home, and you must provide all necessary documents to complete an eligibility review and award determination. Rental property owners may apply as well, but single-family homeowners will be prioritized.

The Renew NC Single-Family Housing Program is a centralized housing rehabilitation, reconstruction or replacement program that will prioritize  low-to-moderate income families with seniors aged 62 and older, children, and/or disabled household members impacted by Hurricane Helene.

The Renew NC Program will manage and complete construction on behalf of eligible and awarded homeowners. Homeowners may not select their contractors and will not contract directly with their selected builders. Additionally, the Renew NC program will reimburse homeowners for repairs made to their homes, provided certain conditions are met. Renew NC will offer repairs, stick-built reconstruction, manufactured home replacement and reimbursement.
