Heavy rainfall has brought massive flash flooding to the central part of our state. Water levels from the Guadalupe, Llano, Colorado, Concho, and San Gabriel Rivers rose rapidly. Some reaching over 30 feet above flood stage and many creeks and lakes have overflowed as well. Over 100 people have died, dozens more are still missing, and rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing.

The Texas Association of Builders (TAB) has been in contact with the Home Builders Associations that are in the affected counties (Hill Country BA, Greater New Braunfels BA, Greater San Antonio BA, HBA of Greater Austin, and the HBA of San Angelo) to learn what the situation is like in each area, and how help can be offered to each community. TAB is also working to share disaster relief resources on the TAB website and through its social media channels.

The Texas Builders Foundation is now collecting donations through this fund to assist the affected communities and HBAs in their relief and rebuilding efforts. If contributing by check, please indicate you would like to support this effort.

The Texas Association of Builders and the Texas Builders Foundation appreciate your support and contributions during this difficult time. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
