The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has pledged $40 million to provide housing assistance for Texans whose homes were damaged by the July 4 floods. The significant donation reflects the pressing need to secure safe living conditions and help communities rebuild.

Members of the Phoenix Fire Department’s Task Force 1 remain on the ground in Kerr County, Texas, assisting with recovery efforts after devastating floods claimed 135 lives and left dozens missing. Deployed a week ago, the team continues to help locate those unaccounted for amid the aftermath of the disaster.
