Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Those whose homes were damaged by Helene in three Tennessee counties have another chance to get funding for reconstruction.
The money is coming from the Appalachia Service Project, which is using money from the American Rescue Plan Act. The group is offering the funding to those who live in Cocke, Carter and Johnson counties; however, there are several requirements for applying:
- The home must have been affected by Helene and the owner must have a letter from FEMA
- The owner must live in one of the three counties (listed above)
- The homeowner must own the house and the land upon which it sits
- The household’s income must be at or below the Area Median Income
- The homeowner must attend public meetings and submit all items on time
The application period runs through May 1. There’s also a public hearing meeting on April 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Grace Baptist Church (1114 Broad Street in Elizabethton) for those interested.
