After years of floods devatstaing homes in Meyerland, some homeowners will get relief with the help of FEMA.
KHOU reports that “Houston City Council members approved beginning construction on elevating nine homes near Brays Bayou, the first of 42 homes funded by nearly $15 million in FEMA money. Three of the homes will be on North Braeswood Boulevard, two on Braesvalley Drive, with the others on Breakwood Drive, Cadman Court, Kit Street and Cliffwood.”
According to Mayor Turner, 600 families applied for help and 42 were chosen. Of the 42, 12 dropped out.
The homes will be raised at least 12 inches and the money will cover the cost of temporary housing for the homeowners while construction takes place.
