Grace in Action Fund: Keeping WNC Families Housed

Let’s See Your Grace in Action

Nearly a year after Hurricane Helene, Western North Carolina is still picking up the pieces. Jobs have vanished. Savings are gone. And every day, more neighbors face the threat of eviction, foreclosure, or having their power shut off. But there is hope.

Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church helped distribute $5.5 million in emergency housing assistance in the storm’s aftermath. Now, we’re launching the Grace in Action Fund to continue that work, providing critical rent, mortgage, and utility support to those still struggling. With your help, we can keep this lifeline going.

What You Can Do Today

  • Donate: Every $1,650 provides a month of rent for a family in need.
  • Spread the Word: Share on social media, forward this page to a friend, and help us grow this movement of grace.

Real People. Real Stories. Real Impact.

If I hadn’t received assistance through Grace Covenant, I could have easily foreclosed on my mortgage or just given up.

LOTSAR: Rallying Realtors for Housing Relief

The Land of the Sky Association of REALTORS® (LOTSAR) has long been dedicated to supporting Hurricane Helene relief in Western North Carolina. In the aftermath of the storm, our building served as a collection point for donated supplies from REALTORS across the state, which were then distributed by volunteers to local organizations assisting neighbors in need. Members and staff also helped homeowners and tenants receive $1.2 million in recovery funds through the National Association of REALTORS® and NC REALTORS®. Additional efforts included sharing resources for rebuilding, guidance on state and federal assistance applications, providing water testing information when the local supply was compromised, working alongside an affordable housing developer to offer temporary housing cottages, and hosting presentations on legal and regulatory issues related to the hurricane’s impact on real estate.
