Renew NC is North Carolina’s long-term disaster recovery effort, committed to rebuilding impacted communities stronger so they are more resilient to future storms. The Renew NC Single-Family Housing Program is a centralized housing rehabilitation, reconstruction or replacement program that prioritizes low-to-moderate income families with seniors aged 62 and older, children, and/or disabled household members impacted by Hurricane Helene.
You or someone you know may qualify for the Renew NC Single-Family Housing Program if:
- You owned the damaged property at the time of Hurricane Helene (September 27, 2024);
- You currently own the damaged property;
- The property was your primary residence at the time of Hurricane Helene (you lived at the property for the majority of the calendar year);
- The damaged property is in Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mecklenburg (28214), Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Surry, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, or Yancey county.
The application deadline is December 31, 2025. Since funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, it is highly recommended to submit applications and determine eligibility as soon as possible. Note: The program will be doing the rebuilding as a rolling process. For more information contact Renew NC at 1-888-791-0207 or email [email protected].
