Orange County will open a Recovery Assistance Center (RAC) to provide essential services and support for residents affected by Tropical Depression Chantal this week. The center, located at the Drakeford Library Complex at 203 South Greensboro Street in downtown Carrboro, will operate from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. from July 10 through July 12.
“The RAC will serve as a centralized hub, or one-stop shop, where storm survivors can access a variety of recovery resources,” the county said in a release.
Services at the RAC include but are not limited to:
- Housing resources
- Storm insurance assistance
- Permitting assistance
- Mental health/crisis support services
- Public health services
- Cleanup and debris removal guidance
- Assistance from state and nonprofit recovery partners
Staff from the county government, local nonprofits and volunteer organizations will be on hand to assist residents. Language interpretation services will also be available. Residents do not need to bring any documentation to receive assistance.
Residents who live in northern Orange County and need transportation to the RAC can call 919-245-2656 to arrange a ride.
