NC Hurricane Recovery Program Slammed in State Audit

North Carolinas hurricane recovery program faces scrutiny after a state audit reveals significant mismanagement, leaving thousands of families waiting years for home repairs. The North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency, handling over one billion dollars in disaster funds, is criticized for its ineffective operations, including an eight-step approval process causing extensive delays. The program completed only about thirty-five hundred projects out of eleven thousand applications by April. The audit also highlights a lack of clear financial oversight, poorly utilized systems, and the need for a new statewide disaster recovery structure to prevent future failures.
