Your application paperwork

After a federally declared disaster, the Texas General Land Office runs homeowner recovery programs in the affected counties: a Homeowner Assistance Program that repairs or reconstructs an owner-occupied home, and a Homeowner Reimbursement Program that pays back out-of-pocket repair costs (generally 3,000 to 75,000 dollars). You apply online for your primary residence and may choose only one of the two programs.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm the disaster recovery program is open for your county and that the home is your primary residence.
  2. Choose either the Homeowner Assistance Program (repair/reconstruction) or the Homeowner Reimbursement Program (pay-back of out-of-pocket repairs).
  3. Apply online at the GLO disaster recovery site (first come, first served), or call 1-844-893-8937.
  4. Provide proof of ownership, the damage, and your repair costs, then work with the program on the approved scope.
