Question:
Are HOA’s that maintain their own roads eligible to receive FEMA funds due to damage from Hurricane Helene?
– Anthony
Answer:
Hi Anthony,
Private roads, including those maintained by HOAs, are generally not eligible for FEMA funding. However, there may be exceptions. If the HOA’s roads serve as the primary access to multiple residences and are considered essential for emergency services, the HOA may qualify as a private nonprofit organization under FEMA guidelines. This designation could make the HOA eligible for Public Assistance funding to repair or replace the damaged roads.
To determine eligibility, you should contact North Carolina Emergency Management or FEMA directly to discuss the specifics of your situation.
