DURHAM, N.C. – In the nine weeks since President Obama declared a major disaster for North Carolina, federal agencies have provided more than $213 million in grants, loans and insurance payments to those who had losses resulting from flooding after Hurricane Matthew.
These funds are making it possible for survivors to begin to rebuild their homes and communities as they develop a recovery plan.
FEMA has provided almost $83 million in grants to more than 27,000 eligible survivors for rental assistance and for repairs to make homes safe and habitable.
