In response to the devastating Fourth of July flood, the Community Resource Centers of Texas and Texas Housing Foundation are covering the cost of motel accommodations for displaced individuals and families in the Highland Lakes. 

“This isn’t just about a room,” said Dawn Capra, director of Community Impact at CRCTX. “It’s a critical step toward rebuilding lives. We are committed to standing with our neighbors—offering emotional encouragement, helping them regain stability, and connecting them to long-term recovery resources.” 

In addition to motel stays, CRCTX Navigators will: 

  • facilitate applications for financial assistance, rental aid, and benefits; 
  • provide information on rebuilding programs, housing vouchers, and other programs; 
  • and coordinate with local disaster relief agencies, mental health providers, and faith-based organizations for holistic care.
