Disaster Recovery 2016 (DR16)
Houston saw two storms in 2016 that were classified as major disasters. The City received $23 million to help residents recover from these floods. These funds will be used by the Multifamily Voluntary Buyout Program, which will remove multifamily homes from areas at severe risk of flooding to prevent future flood impacts to families.
