Updating a story we posted March 8, 2013 concerning a program to demolish abandoned factory-built homes in Onslow County in southeastern North Carolina, MHProNews has just learned from jdnews the program will run through Feb. 2014. The initiative is funded jointly by grants from the state’s Manufactured Home Demolition Assistance Program and the home’s owner, who, because of financial inability, cannot afford to remove it. The owner receives assistance based on a sliding scale upon proof of resources, and the state picks up the remaining tab.
