Who this service helps
The official page states that eligible Houston homeowners may qualify when their primary residence was damaged by the May 2024 Derecho or Hurricane Beryl. The City's published baseline home-repair checklist also asks about title ownership, primary-residence status, City of Houston property taxes, household income at or below 80% of Area Median Income, and floodway location; program-specific requirements are in the current DR24 guidelines.
