Description
This CRP was established with the mission to provide financial assistance for citizens who are recovering from Hurricane Helene. Funding will be provided as a payment directly to the business, vendor, landlord, or contractor that will be supplying your recovery efforts. If you were directly affected by Hurricane Helene, whether this included home damage, displacement, rental or utility needs, landscape cleanup, loss or damage to personal property or vital documents, financial loss, food shortages, or education support, we encourage you to submit an application to receive assistance from this CRP while funding is available. Financial assistance will be determined based upon the needs of the household and funding available at the time of the application. More details are provided within the CRP application. Examples of approved funding are: Financial and Household Needs Assistance – help with rent, utilities, basic household items (e.g. clothing, cleaning supplies), temporary housing/emergency shelter, employment assistance, legal aid, and transportation access. Food Assistance – access to meals (e.g., food pantries, meal delivery), and/or financial assistance to purchase food. Health Supports – assistance accessing mental and physical health services, prescriptions, medical supplies, and emergency room visits. Educational Supports – assistance related to setting up temporary school sites, student transportation, school supplies, setting up community-based learning sites, school clean-up; and relocation of teachers, students, and administrators. Other services and supports - as determined and identified by impacted populations, community-based organizations, and specific communities, to meet the evolving needs of the communities impacted by the Disaster.
