Hurricane Helene hammered the southeast at the end of September, killing at least 62 people, but the long-term damage from the storm is still being felt in places like North Carolina. There, scores of people are facing eviction as the state struggles with a combination economic-housing crisis.
“We had an avalanche of need with this hurricane, and there’s a second avalanche coming with these evictions,” Vicki Meath, executive director of Just Economics, a group pushing state officials to declared an eviction and foreclosure moratorium, toldThe Washington Post.
