Flood grants aid recovery

Bandera County small businesses and nonprofit organizations affected by this month's flooding are eligible to apply for recovery grants through LiftFund, which says demand for assistance is already more than double what it saw following last year's floods.

The San Antonio-based nonprofit lender reported receiving more than 230 applications or applications in progress within three days of opening its 2026 Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Program.

By comparison, about 100 applications were received during the first week after the 2025 floods.
