Citizens Organized for Rita Relief (CORR) is providing long-term recovery in Jasper and Newton counties, with 254 cases currently open for assistance. The group may open as many as 800 more cases in the coming weeks, anticipating a large number of cases from the community of Weaverville. The group has established an unmet needs committee and has resourced and completed the building of a home in Newton. A CWS seed grant of $5,000 was sent to CORR.
