North Texas Homeowners Could Qualify for Reimbursement of Disaster-related Repairs
Do you have a home in Anderson, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Kaufman, Henderson or Smith Counties in North Texas that sustained damage from severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding (DR-4781) between April 26, 2024 and June 5, 2024?
On July 9, 2025, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D., announced applications for home rebuilding and repair reimbursement programs are available in 27 federally designated counties impacted by multiple disasters in 2024. The Texas General Land Office (GLO) allocated $244,100,000 for the Homeowner Assistance Program to help repair and reconstruct owner occupied single-family homes. The GLO also allocated $43,100,000 for the Homeowner Reimbursement Program to provide eligible applicants with reimbursement for out-of-pocket home repairs between $3,000 and $75,000 for stick-built homes and $3,000 and $50,000 for Manufactured Housing Units.
The funding for both programs is provided by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program to support recovery programs in federally designated areas impacted by the Texas Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, Tornadoes, and Flooding (DR-4781) and Hurricane Beryl (DR-4798), otherwise known as the 2024 Disasters.
The programs are only available for a main home (primary residence). Homeowners can only apply for one of the two programs - either reimbursement or repair/reconstruction assistance. An application must be submitted along with required documents for consideration. Applications for both programs will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and eligible homeowners are encouraged to apply immediately.
