They’ve recently rolled out the first phase of their Disaster Assistance Home Repair Program, aimed specifically at helping those whose homes have been battered by extreme weather. With so many folks still recovering, this initiative is timed just right!
Who Can Get Involved?
So, how does it work? The County is currently inviting non-profit organizations to step up and apply for grant funding. This funding will be used to provide crucial repair services for residences impacted by severe weather events.

Funding Details
The program is backed by a generous grant from the South Carolina State Housing Trust Fund Disaster Assistance Program, totaling an impressive $928,877. This financial boost is designed to empower non-profits to take action and start repair projects that will directly benefit vulnerable homeowners.
