Disaster Resilience > Rebuild Texas Fund > Hurricane Season Recovery Fund
In late spring, Texas braces for the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, which can upend the lives of up to 21 million Texans and wreak billions of dollars in damage annually. Every hurricane season shatters new records in storm frequency and human impact, and researchers are again forecasting above-normal activity for 2021. Projections predict up to 18 named storms, including as many as four major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
We understand that living in Texas means the next disaster is not an “if” but a “when.” While many factors are beyond our control, we can mitigate the devastating consequences of hurricanes through preparation and strategic coordination. The Rebuild Texas Hurricane Season Recovery Fund creates a pathway for you to help communities build resiliency and facilitate a timely recovery for vulnerable Texas households. This fund is a sustainable investment available year-round to help communities prepare, overcome, and rebuild in the aftermath of the annual hurricane season.
The Rebuild Texas Hurricane Season Recovery Fund will support the relief and recovery efforts of communities impacted by the events of the 2021 hurricane season in five key areas.
Revitalizing schools and childcare centers to maintain enrollment, graduation outcomes, and access to higher education
Promoting mental health, wellness, good nutrition and health literacy
Helping displaced individuals and families come home to safe, affordable, and quality housing
Bolstering communities and lifting spirits through multi-generational social cohesion, civic engagement, and volunteerism
Mitigating poverty by restoring job and transportation access to get people back to work and individual asset building
Give now to ensure Texans are ready to respond to this year's hurricane season.
Hurricanes are inevitable in Texas, but we can plan and prepare to ensure Texas families and communities are able to recover quickly. Your gift ensures that disaster survivors receive effective and sustainable support in the wake of the storm. With a community-centered and data-driven approach to grantmaking, OneStar works with state and local partners to assess the impact of the season’s weather events and to prioritize funding to organization serving communities most in need.
