Homeowner Recovery Program

To be eligible for the Homeowner Recovery Program, you must:

• Have a home that was damaged in Hurricane Florence or Hurricane Matthew.
• Have owned and occupied your home at the time of the disaster, and must continue to own your home through project completion.
• Have occupied the home as your primary residence at the time of the storm.
• Be lawfully present, have legal authority to enter into a funding award, and be willing to give program staff, inspectors, and contractors access to the damaged property.
• Have a household income that is less than 150 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). You may be ineligible if your household income is greater than 150 percent of the AMI. For example, a family of four in Cumberland County with an annual household income of $87,150 would be at 150 percent of the AMI. However, ReBuild NC encourages any applicant who believes he or she may be eligible. Homeowners who previously applied to the program between November 2017 and June 2019 (Phase I applicants) must have a total household income below 120 percent AMI.
