Rebuilding Hope: Affordable Housing For the Carolinas Offers Home Repair Assistance to York County Residents Impacted by Hurricane Helene

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, almost one year later many York County families continue to face the painful reality of damaged homes, insufficient insurance coverage, or incomplete repairs. For some, the storm may feel like a distant memory — but for those still living with leaks, structural issues, or unsafe living conditions, the recovery process is far from over.

At Affordable Housing For the Carolinas (AHFTC), we believe that stable housing is the cornerstone of healthy families and thriving communities. That’s why we’re proud to offer our Ounce of Prevention Home Repair Program to assist York County homeowners who are still struggling with storm-related damages.
