HOUSTON—Nonprofits providing critical home repairs and other housing assistance to low-income Texas families affected by Hurricane Harvey now have a second chance to apply for grants to accelerate those projects. This opportunity, made possible by generous donations from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and The Meadows Foundation, comes shortly after the awarding of 14 initial grants totaling $500,000 for recovery projects.
The Housing and Economic Assistance to Rebuild Texas/HEART program, a grant and technical assistance partnership between the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation/TSAHC and Enterprise Community Partners, began accepting grant applications from nonprofits in May. Due to an overwhelming number of preliminary proposals, HEART temporarily suspended submissions in June.
