The Homeowner Reimbursement Program offers individual grants ranging from $3,000 to $75,000 for verified storm repairs. These assistance programs are available to qualifying residents in 27 designated Texas counties.

Culture Shift
This program aligns with long-term efforts to standardize post-disaster recovery mechanisms across the state. By centralizing the application process, the agency reflects a broader shift toward digital-first government resource distribution.
