While I have released my holds on DHS nominees, I will continue to engage all relevant federal agencies to make sure Western North Carolina receives the focus and attention it deserves, particularly the final distribution of funds to the municipalities and state agencies in desperate need of financial relief. There is still more work to be done to make the people of Western North Carolina whole in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastation, and the federal government must continue to do its part,” said Senator Budd. Today’s announcement of the $29+ million in public assistance reimbursements follows an announcement last month when the agency released $155 million in funding for Western North Carolina projects.
