Adrianne Todman, acting secretary of HUD, stated, 'We know the breadth of destruction warrants immediate funding to supplement emergency assistance for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.' This highlights the urgency of the situation as North Carolina residents face severe challenges in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
The $3 million in new funding from HUD's Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing program is essential for addressing the immediate unmet needs for homelessness assistance and prevention in disaster areas.
According to recent reports, FEMA has nearly exhausted its disaster relief funds, emphasizing the need for quick federal response and additional funding to support affected residents.
HUD's approach includes not just emergency shelter for those unhoused but also up to 24 months of rental assistance, signaling a long-term commitment to recovery for residents impacted by the disaster.
