213 JCSU students relocated to hotel after storm damage
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — About 200 students from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte are living in a hotel after their residence hall suffered storm damage caused by Helene, according to the school.
The 213 students typically live on-campus in Greenfield Residence Hall but have been relocated while the school addresses “storm-related water damage and increased moisture” after Helene.
“Our top priority is the safety of our students, faculty, and staff; thus, we are taking steps to address the issue,” the school said in a statement sent to WCNC Charlotte. “Our University leadership met with affected students and their families and are working diligently to resolve these issues.”
The school says it has applied for FEMA assistance to help address the issues.
