The Texas General Land Office is hosting a free homeowner outreach event today in Texas City to help residents impacted by 2024 storms get connected with recovery assistance programs.<\/p>\n
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Moore Memorial Public Library, located at 1701 9th Ave. N in Texas City. GLO representatives are on hand to walk homeowners through eligibility requirements and available programs for repairing, rebuilding or receiving reimbursement for storm-related damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Texas General Land Office\u2019s housing programs have helped more than 14,000 Texas families rebuild their homes \u2013 and their lives,\u201d said Commissioner Dawn Buckingham. \u201cIn 2024, many Texas communities experienced significant damage from severe storms, including devastating straight-line winds, tornadoes, and Hurricane Beryl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Buckingham is encouraging homeowners who are still struggling to recover to take advantage of the available resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile many communities are familiar with the GLO\u2019s housing efforts, many are new to the programs,\u201d she said. \u201cWe hope homeowners still struggling to recover in the 27 eligible counties will visit recovery.texas.gov\/apply to learn more and apply.\u201d<\/p>\n
