Two years after Hurricane Helene struck Western North Carolina, Pisgah Legal Services continues to provide free help to survivors still facing legal issues related to the storm. Two emerging issues Pisgah Legal is are FEMA recoupments (requests to repay disaster assistance) and housing instability caused by foreclosures, evictions, and substandard conditions from the impacts of Helene.
Managing Attorney Julia Horrocks notes, “Two years on from Helene, survivors continue to face complex legal challenges. Disaster recovery is a long and arduous process. Pisgah Legal Services will continue to support our clients and our communities as new legal needs emerge.”
