NC Funding for Hurricane Recovery

The N.C. Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) signed an agreement with the state Housing Finance Agency to provide $16.6 million for affordable housing in two areas recovering from Hurricane Matthew. The funds will be used in Fayetteville and Goldsboro for low-and-moderate income families impacted by the storm. North Carolina is still awaiting notification from HUD on funding for homes impacted by Hurricane Florence, as well as federal guidelines to use funds allocated for Hurricane Matthew.  To date, the state has spent more than $935 million to help impacted communities recover from Hurricane Matthew. Recovery spending for Hurricane Florence has topped $1.7 billion.
