Hurricane Ike Disaster Recovery

Long-term recovery aid for Hurricane Ike was made available in two rounds, in 2009 and 2012. In the first round, our department used these recovery funds to repair and rebuild homes, assist new and hurricane-affected homebuyers with down payment, and create new multifamily homes in safe, resilient locations. Our second round of funding continued to repair and rebuild homes and create new multifamily homes.
