The nonprofit is working hard to get people back into homes for the holidays after Hurricane Helene destroyed many western North Carolina homes in September. Andy Barnett is the Executive Director, Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and tells us how the organization is helping people recover.

Hurricane Helene took out critical infrastructure in western North Carolina, specifically water systems that were already under much strain.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, more than 2,000 landslides displaced families in western North Carolina. They are waiting to find out if rebuilding is even possible or safe.

Residents across the area are still feeling the effects of the hurricane, with reports indicating its impact is widespread.

As North Carolinians continue to rebuild after Hurricane Helene, socially vulnerable communities face many more challenges in their recovery.

This Thanksgiving holiday will be shadowed by the loss of a loved one for many in Western North Carolina left to mourn after Tropical Storm Helene.
