The devastation the July flooding brought to Burnet County is slowly beginning to heal. Burnet County had over 450 homes with either minor or major damage and some destroyed. Burnet neighborhoods were hardest hit by the disastrous flood event and continue to recover.
Now thanks to significant donations from Capital Area Housing Finance Corporation (CAHFC), those individuals that experienced damage to their homes from the flooding may soon be getting some relief.
CAHFC announced Sept. 22 that the board elected to make a $400,000 donation to the Ark of Highland Lakes specifically to assist with housing needs. The organization – comprised of more than two dozen churches – was on the ground in Burnet to assist with the cleanup and recovery efforts.
