Henderson County Hazard Mitigation Grant Program – Homeowner Mitigation Projects

How it works

Henderson County says North Carolina Public Safety staff at the Multi-Agency Resource Center assist residents with Hazard Mitigation grants, and that county staff connect residents with disaster recovery resources. A county board document says NC Emergency Management published a Notice of Funding Availability for Hazard Mitigation Projects and that homeowner assistance projects are part of it; the county and state began accepting homeowner project applications after the announcement.

What the money covers

The county board materials say homeowner mitigation projects are intended to lessen the impacts of future losses from natural disasters to the individual property owner. The same county materials mention projects such as home acquisitions, structural elevations, land stabilization, and landslide or slope stabilization.

How to apply

The county says residents can get help at the Multi-Agency Resource Center. County board documents say applications received by the county were submitted to the state for verification and then for FEMA submission.

Timing and deadlines

The county’s public pages do not give a single open/close date for the homeowner projects. One county HMGP landslide notice had a submission deadline of 2025-05-30 at 5:00 p.m. for that specific landslide and slope stabilization review process.
