West Virginia Adjutant General’s update on RISE West Virginia case management

By Maj. Holli Nelson West Virginia National Guard Public Affairs

West Virginia National Guard's Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. James Hoyer, issues the following update on RISE West Virginia's case management status:

Work on the interior of the stick built project in Kanawha County continued this week as crews were able to complete some work that had been delayed due to not having electric in the home. Interior work on drywall will wrap up by Monday, as crews will begin the finish work for the home next week. In addition to the interior work, the septic system was installed and utilities were turned on. It is estimated that this project will be complete, weather permitting, within the next two weeks.

At this time, 12 other mobile home unit and reconstruction projects are at varying points in the construction process in the RISE West Virginia program in Clay, Greenbrier, Nicholas, Kanawha and Webster Counties. Additionally, eight more projects will move into the construction phase next week as notices to proceed were submitted this week.

The number of completed cases remains at 47 this week. The number of outstanding homeowner cases also remains at 402. A breakdown of the nature of those cases is as follows: 169 cases require total reconstruction, 153 cases require some form of rehabilitation, and 80 cases require new mobile home unit replacement.

Any families who feel they still have any unmet needs or who are looking for an update on their case are urged to contact the new VOAD office over the phone at 304-553-0927 or through email at DisasterRecovery@wv.gov. A hotline is also available for anyone needing to report fraud with regard to the RISE West Virginia program at 1-866-WVWATCH (1-866-989-2824).
