Households in need of home repair services due to Hurricane Beryl can now access resources from the Greater Houston Disaster Alliance’s Hurricane Beryl Recovery Fund!

Eligible households (see included images) can apply for home repair services at connectivehomerepair.org.

If approved for assistance, Connective will match applicants with a home repair agency suited to their needs, location, spoken language, and available resources. Please note that due to limited resources, the most impacted and vulnerable households will be provided home repair services, and an application does not guarantee home repairs.

Special thank you to our home repair nonprofit partners at Covenant Community Capital, Houston's Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation, Hope Disaster Recovery, Houston Habitat for Humanity, Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, TX, Rebuilding Together Houstonn, The Restoration Team, and West Street Recovery for helping our neighbors regain safety and shelter as we continue to recover from Hurricane Beryl.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of former Houston City Council Member, community activist, and friend of United Way, Felix Fraga.

Felix grew up in East End and spent many years helping others, including the Latino community. Felix also shared his time and talents with United Way of Greater Houston, including his deep involvement with our Campaign for the Homeless and his unmissable presence as a speaker on the United Way campaign trail. Felix’s contributions earned him our most prestigious honor, the Robert W. Kneebone Volunteer of the Year Award, in 1987.

We will forever be grateful to Felix for all he did to uplift his community and our sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
