Rosenberg Offering Grant Funds To Help With Harvey Recovery

ROSENBERG, TX — The City of Rosenberg is taking applications to help property owners still recovering from Hurricane Harvey. The Rosenberg City Council approved a measure in February that allows property owners affected by flood damage to apply for up to $3,000 in grant funding to be used for repairs.

Last month, the city council increased the maximum grant funding to $7,000 for building elevations and demolitions.

In order for applications to be approved, funds must be used to cover costs associated with the elevation, repair, or demolition of flood-damaged properties.

Applicants must also own the property, and must have acquired the permits necessary for the intended alterations.

The City has also extended an offer to demolish structures that were damaged beyond repair. Demolition would be voluntary and at the property owner’s request.

In the coming weeks, the City will be mailing letters, which further explain the grant opportunities, to approximately 85 affected property owners.
