North Carolina officials are working with the Biden administration to allow residents affected by Hurricane Helene to move into a federally contracted school campus that has sat empty after being paid for to house unaccompanied immigrant children who cross the southern border.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it plans to sign an agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services to allow the emergency agency to use the $18 million former American Hebrew Academy boarding school in Greensboro to put up western North Carolina families who lost their homes in the late September natural disaster.
