Self Help Housing of East Texas
2008 Hurricane Relief Cycle Awardee
Self Help Housing of East Texas received a $50,000 grant under the hurricane relief funding cycle of the Texas Foundations Fund. They used the funds to perform critical repairs and rehabilitation to owner-occupied homes affected by Hurricane Ike in Newton and Jasper Counties. The critical repairs and/or rehabilitation performed were necessary in order to alleviate hurricane damage to a home that were causing a health or safety problem for the individual or family living there. The grant was used to assist those individuals at or below 50% of the area median family income who were affected by the storm. Self Help Housing was able to make repairs to 7 single family homes using the grant awarded by the Foundations Fund. Below are testimonials and photos of the work that was accomplished using the funds.
