NC Housing Finance Agency Awards Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry $150,000 for Disaster Recovery

Madison Fisler Lewis

The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency will award Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry (WARM) $150,000 on May 19 to fund disaster relief efforts in the area.

A ceremonial check will be presented during an 2 p.m. ceremony at the WARM offices located at 5058 Wrightsville Avenue in Wilmington. Attending this presentation ceremony will be Senator Michael Lee, Representative Deb Butler and Representative Ted Davis.

These funds will be used to repair owner-occupied homes in New Hanover, Brunswick and Bladen counties that were damaged by Hurricane Matthew. Once these funds are exhausted, WARM can then draw from a $15 million loan pool to conduct further repairs for citizens in need.

“We are pleased to award these funds to Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry to help with disaster recovery efforts in communities that were hard hit last year by natural disaster,” said Scott Farmer, executive director of the NC Housing Finance Agency. “With strong partners like WARM, we will be able to help many North Carolinians whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Matthew and Tropical Storms Julia and Hermine.”

In December, the General Assembly appropriated $20 million to the Housing Trust Fund as part of the Disaster Recovery Act of 2016. Administered by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, these Housing Trust Fund dollars were allocated to local organizations to help repair homes damaged by natural disasters statewide. Assistance is available for households with incomes below 100% of their area’s median income and whose homes are owner-occupied.

Eligible homeowners in the area who have experienced damage from Hurricane Matthew may access assistance by contacting Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry at 910-399-7563. Homeowners outside the area who have been impacted can find a local organization providing home repair assistance at http://www.nchfa.com/current-homeowners/repairing-your-home.  

The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, a self-supporting public agency, has financed 255,000 homes and apartments since its creation in 1973.
