The denial of FEMA aid has left many flood-affected residents in Texas struggling to recover. In Kerr County, where homes and businesses were already rebuilding from a 2025 flood, the 2026 event caused further devastation.

Many families are relying on out-of-pocket expenses or support from community groups to repair their homes, while others have been forced to relocate or live in overcrowded conditions.
