Hope4NC Expansion
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will receive a grant of $1.5 million to support and expand the Hope4NC program, which connects North Carolinians to mental health supports that help them cope and build resilience during times of crisis.
The grant will fund the existing Hope4NC Helpline (1-855-587-3463) and enable a Crisis Counseling Program tailored for COVID-19, which will provide immediate crisis counseling services to individuals affected by the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis in all 100 North Carolina counties.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in coordination with the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds this grant.

Lowe’s Home Improvement has opened its first round of grant applications in its previously announced $25 million fund to provide much-needed relief to minority-owned businesses.
The donations will fuel emergency grants in historically underserved communities as well as other assistance to help business owners navigate challenges during the pandemic.
