Although temporary housing is no longer available, directives such as the Repair and Replacement community program are continuing to help the east ern part of the state recover.

Other areas, such as Pitt County, are on schedule with recovery plans. Stephen Smith, member of the Pitt County Board of Planning, said the recovery efforts are almost complete. Rebuilding was temporarily slowed by the N.C. budget crisis, but overall, the effort proved to be effective, Smith said. Housing programs for those displaced by the disaster should be complete by October, nearly a year ahead of schedule.
