Hurricane Helene Relief
The NC STR Alliance is glad to be able to provide this free service to try to connect local residents who have been displaced by Hurricane Helene with hosts who may have availability to host them. We, as STR owners, operators, and allies, care deeply about the well-being of our neighborhoods, our community, and our region. Our hearts break with those affected by this disaster. Therefore, our alliance has created this free matchmaking service to help displaced residents in touch with hosts who may be able to host them.
We welcome all individuals and families regardless of age, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, familial status, sexual orientation, or gender identity, we do not discriminate against anyone eligible for our services. Our goal is to safely shelter those in need and facilitate community support during this recovery period.
What to expect as a displaced resident:
Click the link below to fill out a short form providing your contact information, what you need in a home, and your maximum budget you can pay per month. Your information will be instantly forwarded to all current hosts on the distribution list. Any hosts who have a home matching your needs will reach out to you directly to discuss the opportunity. All discussions are directly between you and the hosts. Depending on host availability and budget, you may be contacted by multiple hosts, or none at all. Please keep on the lookout for unfamiliar phone numbers, and check your spam folder to ensure you don’t miss any opportunities. This program does not imply or guarantee any placement will be made, it is simply expediting the forwarding of your request to hosts who have signed up to participate.

What to expect as a participating host:
We encourage any STR owners, professional managers, Airbnbs, homestays, unfurnished rental owners, and any local residents with a house or room who wish to help to sign up!
Click the link below to fill out a short form providing your contact and availability information. You will be added to the distribution list as soon as possible, and begin receiving inquiry forms directly from displaced residents. You will be able to review the request criteria, and if you have anything available that may be a match, we encourage you to call, text, or email the displaced resident as quickly as possible. If you have nothing matching the criteria or budget provided, no action is needed on your part. It is our hope that other hosts that better match will be reaching out. Please note that inquiries are not vetted, and you will be responsible for all aspects of accepting or declining a request, and all aspects, risks of hosting. We encourage you to be helpful and generous, and to ensure the applicant is an appropriate match for your home or room. If you wish to unsubscribe yourself from the inquiry updates in the future, please fill out the form again and indicate you are unsubscribing, and we will remove you from the list as soon as possible.
Disclaimer:
The NC STR Alliance is not vetting displaced residents, inquiries, or hosts. Participation is at your own risk.

We are simply an alliance of members who are hopeful that this process will help meet a need. If there are issues with the form itself, or any general comments, please
