Repairing Homes, Restoring Hope
Helping Homeowners Recover
A small contribution can make a life-changing difference
When disaster strikes, the road to recovery can feel overwhelming—especially for homeowners facing costly repairs. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many of our neighbors were left with damaged homes and uncertain futures. Your support can make meaningful differences in our community.
Assessing $1,100,000 in home damages
- An estimated $1,100,000 in damages has been identified among residential properties in the Hot Springs, NC area.
- RHSA has distributed $45,000 in direct assistance to homeowners so far—and we’re committed to doing even more.
- These funds are allocated specifically for essential home repairs and critical preventative measures to mitigate further damage.
Help us reach our goal
How we found this figure
Between November 15 and December 6, 2024, Rebuild Hot Springs Area gathered applications from local residents, workers, and businesses impacted by the catastrophic storm that ravaged our town on September 27, 2024. The data collected paints a stark picture, with estimated damages to residential properties reaching approximately $1,100,000. For a detailed breakdown of our findings, the full report is available here.
It is important to note that these figures are based on self-reported data gathered from community members through our first round of Helene assistance applications. While we made significant efforts to raise awareness about the application, we acknowledge that this data may not fully reflect the extent of the damage to our community, and some individuals may not be represented in this report. We continue to research this topic and will update upon our findings.
Home repair funding is important
Why your support matters
A home is more than just a structure—it’s a place of safety, comfort, and stability. For many in our community, the storm caused roof damage, flooding, and structural issues that made their homes unsafe or unlivable. Without immediate repairs, these problems only grow worse, leading to greater financial strain and hardship. Our funding helps ease this burden, allowing families to focus on moving forward rather than worrying about how they will afford critical repairs.
Making a real difference
A community effort
Our funding wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of donors and volunteers who believe in rebuilding Hot Springs together. Whether through financial contributions, materials, or hands-on labor, our community has stepped up to ensure that no one is left behind in the recovery process.
If you’d like to support our mission, consider making a donation or volunteering with RHSA. Every dollar brings us one step closer to rebuilding our town—stronger and more resilient than before.
