Storm Recovery Update
Our team is safe, but our hearts are very heavy.
Communities in Western North Carolina, including ours, are just beginning the process of recovering from the devastating floods and aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Many areas are still without power and water, and our efforts are only just beginning in some parts of our cherished community.

When will homesource reopen?
Due to significant flooding, impassable roads, and widespread power outages in our region from Tropical Storm Helene, we are temporarily closed. We are assessing damage from the storm and will update this page as we work to safely reopen.
Our area currently has intermittent internet access and cellular service, which has disrupted our communications. We appreciate your understanding as we all await repairs to these systems. Please continue to check this page for updates.
For the latest information on current weather conditions and road reports, please visit weather.gov and drivenc.gov.
