Texas Covid Relief Fund
Helping Texas communities recover in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic takes all of us coming together to support our fellow neighbors.
Disaster Resilience > Rebuild Texas Fund > Hurricane Harvey
Hurricane Harvey was an unprecedented natural disaster that required an unprecedented effort in recovery. In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas bringing up to 130 mph winds and record-breaking rainfall to the state. Recognized as the wettest and costliest tropical cyclone on record, more than 185,000 homes were damaged and 9,000 destroyed, and damages in Texas were estimated at more than $41.1 billion. In response to this devastation, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation teamed up with the OneStar Foundation to launch the Rebuild Texas Fund.
Thanks to the support of more than 33,000 corporate and individual donors, this collaborative project distributed $100 million towards recovery and rebuilding efforts in 41 counties impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Over the course of three years, remarkable progress was made—from home repairs to entire new subdivisions, from mental health support to job training, and so much more. Together, 2.1 million Texans have had the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
In response to Hurricane Harvey, Rebuild Texas Fund focused on these key areas to make an impact.
Rebuilding community assets and essential local revenue
Helping displaced families come home
Revitalizing schools and child care centers
Promoting mental health, wellness, and good nutrition
Restoring jobs, transportation, and getting people back to work
Supporting small businesses to re-open and thrive
