Disaster Rebuilding Assistance for Disaster Areas in New Mexico and Texas

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) has activated its Disaster Rebuilding Assistance (DRA) program and Disaster Relief Program (DRP) for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-declared disasters in New Mexico and Texas.

As of October 7, 2026, the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico qualifies for assistance and is eligible for DRA grants and DRP advances following severe storms and flooding that occurred in July.

On October 30, 2026, FEMA updated a disaster declaration for the severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding that occurred in Texas from July-August to include multiple counties for Individual Assistance.

The following Texas counties are eligible for DRA grants and DRP advances:

Bandera
Bexar
Comal
Crockett
Dimmit
Frio
Gillespie
Kendall
Kerr
Kimble

Kinney
La Salle
Maverick
Medina
Real
Schleicher
Sutton
Uvalde
Val Verde
Zavala

Please note that DRA funds for 2026 have been exhausted. The Bank will host a DRA webinar at 10:00 a.m. on December 9, 2026, and expects to make funding available in 2027. The Pueblo of Zuni and the Texas counties listed above will be eligible for that funding.

Under the DRA:

Grants are available to low- and very low-income households for the repair, rehabilitation or reconstruction of affected owner-occupied housing in federally declared disaster areas when costs are not covered by insurance or other funding sources
Individuals located within an eligible FEMA-declared disaster area may apply for funds through the Bank’s member financial institutions
