Disaster Recovery 2015 (DR15)

In 2015, Houston experienced two major flooding disasters and received $87 million in federal funding to help with recovery. The main program to address the 2015 flooding is our Single Family Home Repair Program. The City also runs a voluntary Housing Buyout program for damaged properties in the floodway that cannot be reconstructed and supports infrastructure projects.

Please note that the DR-15 section of the Single Family Home Repair Program is still active. Homeowners whose homes were damaged during the 2015 floods should contact us at 832-394-6200 to see if they qualify for home repairs.
