Val Verde County Colonia Self-Help Center Program
Val Verde County / Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), Office of Colonia Initiatives · County program
Up to $80,000 per home for rehabilitation and up to $105,000 per home for reconstruction.
Val Verde County is running a colonia self-help grant program for owner-occupied homes in specific colonia areas, with county-administered rehab funding up to $80,000 per home and reconstruction up to $105,000 per home. It is mainly a housing rehabilitation program, but it can help harden homes against storms, wildfire, and other disasters when those improvements are part of the home work scope.
Program details
How it works
Val Verde County’s Colonia Self-Help Center Program is a county-administered CDBG program tied to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs’ Office of Colonia Initiatives. The official environmental review notice says the project includes public service activities and rehabilitation and reconstruction of single-family, owner-occupied homes. The program is being carried out in colonia sites in Val Verde County.
What the money covers
The county notice identifies the funded work as rehabilitation and reconstruction for owner-occupied homes. The public notice does not provide a line-item list of eligible hardening measures, so the exact disaster-hardening upgrades covered are not stated on the source page.
Amounts and matching
The official notice states that CDBG funds for rehabilitation will not exceed $80,000 per home and reconstruction will not exceed $105,000 per home.
How to apply
The notice itself is an environmental review and release-of-funds posting, not a homeowner application packet. It names the county Office of the County Judge as the responsible entity and TDHCA as the state agency receiving the request. The source does not state application steps, income limits, or whether funds are paid directly to homeowners or through a contractor.
Timing and deadlines
The notice was posted in connection with the county’s request to release funds for the program. The page does not state a homeowner application deadline.
Geographic scope
The notice lists the project locations as Val Verde Park Estates 1 & 2, Cienegas Terrace, Comstock, and Rise Estates.
