Why this matters in The San Antonio
The plight of Kerr County flood victims puts a spotlight on the critical role of local government in facilitating access to state and federal recovery funds. With only 138 of 641 families having their cases closed, it's clear that more needs to be done to connect survivors with available resources. The call for a bilingual, centralized recovery resource website is a practical step that commissioners can take to address the information gap that has hindered recovery efforts. As the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country prepares to give a final one-year wrap-up of its recovery work, the county must demonstrate a renewed commitment to supporting families still waiting for permanent housing and rent assistance. The upcoming special report on Hill Country recovery efforts will likely bring renewed attention to the issue, and commissioners would do well to have a plan in place to address the concerns of flood victims before then.
