Nearly 200 homes in the Big Sandy Creek neighborhood in Travis County were damaged by flooding on July 5, affecting 71 mobile homes and 127 single-family houses. Travis County is providing short-term housing, tax relief, and waiving permitting fees. Residents can apply for FEMA assistance, although it may not cover all rebuilding expenses. The Central Texas Community Foundation initiated a $10 million fundraiser, raising over $1.2 million for rebuilding help. Significant costs for cleanup and infrastructure repairs are anticipated, with a potential temporary property tax increase to fund these efforts.
"The person who gives $5 is worth it. When an army of people give what they can, what they have, they can change the world. Every dollar counts."
"We either have to follow these FEMA guidelines that often take a long time, sometimes way longer than we want."
