The Texas General Land Office has opened disaster recovery programs to help residents rebuild primary residences damaged by 2024 storms and Hurricane Beryl. Homeowners in 27 eligible Texas counties can apply for reimbursement or assistance.
Why it matters
This funding helps offset the significant financial burden of repairing homes damaged by tornadoes, straight-line winds, and hurricane-force weather throughout 2024. It provides a path for families to address structural damage while recovering from regional disaster events.
The Homeowner Reimbursement Program offers between $3,000 and $75,000 for repairs across 27 designated counties. Houston and Harris County residents are excluded from these specific programs due to separate funding structures.

The Home Front
This state-led initiative follows the established pattern for regional recovery after significant weather events in Texas. It provides a structured regulatory path for residents to recoup costs that otherwise fall under private home maintenance or insurance gaps.
Verify if your property is located in an eligible county before preparing your documentation. Gather all receipts and repair records to ensure your application reflects the total costs incurred from 2024 storm damage.
The takeaway
Eligible homeowners should ensure their application files are complete to avoid processing delays. If you are in an eligible county, reach out to the office or utilize the online portal to confirm your documentation requirements for the reimbursement program.
