The U.S. Department of Labor announced the award of $890,000 in grant funding to Texas to support disaster-relief jobs and employment training services for residents suffering from the aftermath of severe storms.
On July 2, 2025, heavy rainfall and flooding began and continued through July 18, 2025, resulting in widespread severe damage, injury, and loss of life in the Alamo region. During this period, Kerr County, Texas, and the surrounding areas experienced major flooding on July 4, 2025, following a period of intense rainfall. The flooding, driven by a rapid rise in the Guadalupe River, resulted in catastrophic damage and a significant loss of life in the river basin.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a major disaster declaration, enabling Texas to request federal assistance for disaster recovery efforts.
This Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant allows the Texas Workforce Commission to provide people with temporary jobs focused on cleanup and recovery efforts, as well as offer employment and training services to eligible workers in affected communities.
