U.S. Senator Ted Budd (R-N.C.) has announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has approved more than $233 million in public assistance grant reimbursements for recovery projects following Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina.
Senator Budd stated, “Communities across Western North Carolina have fronted millions of dollars to clear and repair damage caused by Hurricane Helene. I’ve continued to engage with the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to expedite the release of federal aid for recovery and repairs that had been stalled, and I am proud to announce that another $233 million is on the way. I am grateful to President Trump for his consistent support for Western North Carolina and to his administration for helping get these funds out the door.”
A chart detailing how the funds will be distributed is expected to be released soon.
