The Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group has teamed with other charities to make a significant impact for Hurricane Harvey survivors.
The groups are repairing homes and providing new homes for survivors who can't complete these repairs due to lack of funds.
“As a region, we have to continue to find ways to make our communities more resilient to weather the next storm,” Judge Robert Blaschke of Refugio County said in a press release. “One thing I learned from Harvey is we have more in common than we have different. This project means everything to county residents. Putting people back in their homes and giving them hope is heartwarming. I can’t thank all these organizations enough.”
Mayor Kay Roach of Woodsboro said the undeveloped area will be transformed into a community of 23 homes and will improve the livelihood of many.
"We’re really grateful to everyone for giving us the opportunity to do this,” Roach said.
