The Federal Emergency Management Agency confirmed it will soon take control of the Greensboro Influx Care Facility, which could potentially be used for people displaced by Helene.
The move comes in the wake of the storm that carved a path of destruction through the western part of North Carolina with many still without power or reliable water sources.
The facility was previously expected to be used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for unaccompanied immigrant children.
FEMA said in a statement it's in the process of signing an agreement to transfer ownership, ensuring the agency has the resources and assets it needs.
The 100-acre property is at the site of the former American Hebrew Academy and has a capacity of up to 800 beds.
No timeline was given on when the facility could be opened.
