NCORR's Community Development Office provides resources to assist communities in rebuilding smarter and stronger after major disasters. By creating affordable housing and strengthening infrastructure, storm impacted communities can become more resilient and prepare for future storms.

Affordable Housing

Many areas of the state had an affordable housing shortage that grew worse when hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed by Hurricanes Florence and Matthew, as well as Tropical Storm Fred. Increasing the availability of affordable housing for low-and-moderate income families helps house those still recovering from these storms and increases safety and resiliency for future storms.

Multifamily Development Fund

(Hurricane Matthew) Provides resources to storm-impacted communities to repair and develop affordable multifamily rental housing for low- and moderate-income renters.

Affordable Housing Development Fund

(Hurricanes Florence and Matthew) Creates new affordable housing opportunities to responsively address community needs through partnership with government and development partners.

Public Housing Restoration Fund

(Hurricanes Florence and Matthew) Works directly with Public Housing Authorities to rehabilitate or reconstruct public housing units in hurricane-impacted communities.

Homeownership Assistance Program

(Hurricanes Florence and Matthew) Provides funding to offset the costs of becoming a homeowner for first-time and first-generation homebuyers within designated storm-impacted counties.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure projects are a strategic bridge between acute disaster recovery and long-term resiliency measures. Recognizing the ongoing need to address infrastructure repairs and to enact projects that were identified in the State’s comprehensive, county-led planning process, the state has allocated additional funds to address community recovery and infrastructure needs.

Infrastructure Recovery Program

(Mitigation) Funds stand-alone infrastructure projects that ensure communities are not just rebuilt to pre-storm condition, but that they also become safer, especially in areas with high risk of future flooding.
