Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.

But in some N.C. counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

ProPublica and The Assembly have been reporting on the impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina, and we know recovery is far from over.

If you’re in the process of rebuilding, we want to hear from you.
