The Asheville Recovers Together Grant Fund is a $14 million recovery program funded by the City of Asheville. This program helps Asheville businesses recover from Tropical Storm Helene. It provides grants to eligible businesses that experienced physical damage or financial losses.

The grant program is funded through CDBG-DR (Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery). These are federal funds provided to communities after major disasters. They are designed to help businesses, homeowners, and communities recover and rebuild. CDBG-DR funding also requires that most funds support low-to-moderate income individuals and communities.

We are especially focused on reaching businesses and communities that may face barriers to accessing recovery resources.

This program is administered in partnership by:
