  • Time: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Location: Freeport Branch Library, 410 N. Brazosport Blvd.

GLO representatives will provide information and help eligible homeowners apply for programs offering:

  • Home repairs
  • Rebuilding assistance
  • Reimbursement for storm-related expenses.

The programs are limited to primary residences.

Homeowners may apply for either reimbursement or repair and reconstruction assistance, but not both.

Applications and required documentation will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.

“While many communities are familiar with the GLO’s housing efforts, many are new to the programs,” Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said. “We hope homeowners still struggling to recover in the 27 eligible counties will visit recovery.texas.gov/apply to learn more and apply.”

The eligible counties are Anderson, Bell, Brazoria, Caldwell, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Fort Bend, Galveston, Guadalupe, Hardin, Hays, Henderson, Hockley, Jasper, Kaufman, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, Newton, Polk, San Jacinto, Smith, Trinity, Tyler, Walker and Wharton.

Homeowners can apply online.

Officials encourage potential applicants to review the document checklists before applying.
