Enrollment has been extended for the Red Cross Additional Assistance Program. This assistance is available to Helene impacted individuals and households who sustained Major or worse damage per FEMA damage assessment guidelines to their primary residence. Both homeowners and renters may be eligible for assistance.
The Red Cross is currently reaching out to hurricane survivors to discuss their eligibility for financial assistance. If you received a message or call from a Red Cross representative, please follow the steps outlined in that message. If you did not receive a message, but your home experienced major damage or was destroyed, please visit redcross.org/helenerelief to check your eligibility for financial assistance.
Please be aware of scams or people posing as Red Cross representatives. You will receive an invitation via email and text based on the contact information the Red Cross has for you. If you’re unsure whether the Red Cross has reached out, please call 1-800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767).
Assistance from the American Red Cross is not considered a duplication of benefits for insurance or a government agency. The Red Cross is only part of the solution to recovery and FEMA approval is not required to be eligible for Red Cross financial assistance.
