Kerrville Flood Recovery Program Supports 130 Households
As of October 10, 2026, 130 households in Kerrville, Texas, have successfully returned to permanent housing after the July 2025 floods, with 98 more households on the path to recovery through community efforts and support.
On October 10, 2026, the recovery in Kerrville, Texas, reached a milestone as 130 households moved back into permanent homes following the floods of July 2025. The Community Foundation’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund has been central to this work, and another 98 households are currently moving toward permanent housing solutions. This represents one of the largest housing recovery programs ever seen in the Texas Hill Country, reflecting a sustained commitment to rebuilding after the disaster.
The floods that hit Kerr County on July 4, 2025, left a trail of damage, displacing families and destroying homes across the region. In the aftermath, the Community Foundation established the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which has raised over $150 million and distributed $82 million to aid the recovery. These funds have provided temporary housing, property tax relief, and assistance for unmet needs, giving survivors the resources they need to start over.
The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Habitat for Humanity have worked as key partners, collaborating to support those affected. A team of 32 disaster case managers has also played a vital role, helping survivors navigate various resources and find the most direct paths to long-term housing. This individual attention has helped address the specific challenges each family faces as they move forward.
The impact of this work goes beyond the buildings themselves. Secure housing contributes to the general well-being of both families and the wider community. A stable home provides a foundation for emotional recovery. As families return to their own spaces, they can begin to focus on the future and reconnect with their neighborhoods, strengthening the local sense of stability.
Moving forward, the Community Foundation and its partners will continue to support the households still working toward recovery. As more residents settle into permanent homes, the area is expected to see further revitalization. The experience gained during this process may serve as a model for future disaster responses, showing how coordinated action can help a community overcome significant challenges.
