Hurricane Helene - Capital Recovery Funds

The DPI Office of School Facilities administers the Hurricane Helene Capital Recovery Funds for the repair of storm-damaged Public School Facilities in accordance with Disaster Recovery Acts passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.  School districts located in counties covered by the federal disaster declaration, and who experienced school facility damage caused by Hurricane Helene, may submit requests for Capital Recovery Funding under the following programs:

North Carolina Session Law 2024‐53 and Session Law 2025-26 appropriated disaster recovery funding “for repair and renovation of facilities in counties with a federal disaster declaration due to Hurricane Helene for local school administrative units and lab schools.  These funds are for unmet needs not covered by insurance or available federal aid.”
