ProPublica and The Assembly are diving deep into the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left a lasting mark on western North Carolina. As recovery efforts continue, we understand that many are still grappling with the impact of this devastating storm.
We are reaching out to North Carolinians whose lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Helene. Your experiences are invaluable in shedding light on the effectiveness of the state’s housing recovery initiative, RenewNC. If you applied for funding to repair or rebuild your home, we want to hear about your journey. What has the process been like? What hurdles have you faced, and how have these challenges affected your daily life? Additionally, if your home suffered damage but you chose not to apply for assistance, we’d like to learn about your reasons.
Sharing your story is simple. Fill out the form provided below to give us your feedback. If you have more thoughts or insights you’d like to share, feel free to reach out directly at helenetips@propublica.org. After you submit your response, either Assembly reporter Ren Larson or ProPublica reporter Cassandra Garibay may contact you for further details.
Your voice matters in this recovery narrative, and we are here to listen and amplify your experiences.
