Following major disaster declarations, the N.C. Redevelopment Center is tasked with seeing that North Carolinians who qualify are given funds for redevelopment and recovery of their homes. 

A watchdog and victim's advocate, the Redevelopment Center is the state administrative agency with grant oversight for the Crisis Housing Assistance Funds programs.  

The Redevelopment Center monitors state funds to make sure the money is used in the programs for which it was allocated.

As of March 7, 2005, Redevelopment Center staffers have helped craft Hurricane Floyd allocation package resulting in $836 million in state appropriations for flood recovery.

The N.C. Redevelopment Center began in late November 1999 following Hurricane Floyd and was originally called the Governor's Hurricane Floyd Redevelopment Center.  The center redirected all its energy toward assisting local governments, faith-based and volunteer recovery groups in Eastern North Carolina with housing and other unmet needs not addressed by federal programs.

In July 2001, Governor Easley streamlined state recovery efforts by signing Executive Order No. 8 and merged all housing recovery programs with the Redevelopment Center and placed them in the Dept. of Crime Control and Public Safety.
