How this connects
Texas HB 66 creates a disaster relief and prevention program. The program will offer matching grants and loans to eligible people, businesses, and local governments in disaster areas. The money will help with recovery, repairs, and building infrastructure to protect against future disasters. Homeowners, businesses, and cities can apply if they qualify for federal disaster help.
