Housing Relief Program
Redistributing donated RVs to folks who lost their homes in Hurricane Helene
If you have an RV and need a space to park it,
OR
If you are hoping to receive a donated RV to house your family AND would need a space to park it,
Please apply to our RV Relief Housing Project!
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are faced with the devastating reality that many people in Western NC have lost their homes. Those folks who have lost everything are struggling without basic shelter and safety.
Over 140,000 homes were washed away or have been irreparably destroyed by the storm. There is, unfortunately, a waitlist of families seeking shelter.
We are working with donors and non profits to coordinate RVs that will be given to families in need.
As of November, Mandala Springs has 5 cleared spaces for RVs to park, and have 2 RVs to donate to families in need!!
You can apply to either park your personal RV on the land, or to receive an RV and parking spot. Either way, parking will be free through the winter.
The donated RVs will belong exclusively to the families.
Priority will be given to single mothers and families.
We are busy clearing roads and creating parking sites for the RVs on our land. There are already 5 on the land ready to be used!
Working with an excavator and chainsaw team we are clearing roads on our land.

After the roads are created and the parking pads are leveled, we will need to gravel each site.
5 RVs are now able to be parked on the land, and more spots are to come.
If you have an RV and are needing a place to park it, please apply to park on our land!
We will welcome all selected families to live in their RV rent free on the land for the winter months.
If you, your family, or a loved one has lost your home in Hurricane Helene, we’re here for you.
Together with multiple community partners, Mandala Springs is redistributing donated RVs to families in need and providing land for RVs to be parked —both donated RVs and families that have their own and need a place to park.
If chosen for the donated RVs, the family will also receive the papers, becoming the sole owners of the home on wheels.
Priority will be given to families and single mothers.
Please apply for consideration using the form below.

Early on in our relief efforts we offered temporary relief housing in bell tents for families.
