This is a bit south of our area, but illustrates how difficult the situation is and how critical it is to begin the process of providing long-term housing. As this story illustrates, we know people are going to leave our region and we need to be thinking how that relocation will affect our communities negatively. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/unless-you-ve-been-through-it-you-can-t-understand-nc-rebuilds-after-helene/vi-AA1tmsHm?ocid=socialshare&pc=DCTS&cvid=43408c1815f04bb88db346cf0997f37b&ei=32 If you have the ability to volunteer in person, so many still need mucking out, if you can donate from afar we are working on long-term housing solutions to prevent everyone from needing to leave our towns. Please reach out for ways to support our mountain communities!
