ASHEVILLE, N.C. (FOX Carolina) – An Asheville woman who lost her home during Hurricane Helene received the keys to a brand-new home from Governor Josh Stein on Wednesday.
Officials said that Velma Chapman’s homecoming was made possible through Renew NC’s Single-Family Housing Program after losing her home of 28 years during the storm.
