In 2024, the Texas General Land Office opened recovery assistance programs for homeowners whose properties were damaged by tornadoes, straight-line winds, and Hurricane Beryl. Eligible residents in 27 designated counties can now apply for funding to cover repair costs.
Why it matters
The funding aims to assist Texans in primary residences with the costs of necessary repairs and rebuilding efforts following severe 2024 weather events. The aid is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until all available program funds are exhausted.
Eligible homeowners may receive between $3,000 and $75,000 for repair bills or rebuilding projects. This assistance is available to residents across 27 designated Texas counties, excluding those in Houston and Harris County.
