What it means for your household Under $30,000
This study could lead to safer, more affordable housing options since many families in this bracket rely on RVs and mobile homes for housing.
$30,000-$60,000
Families who use RVs as primary or secondary housing could benefit from better flood safety standards that protect their homes and belongings.
$60,000-$100,000
May help protect RV investments used for recreation or temporary housing, but most families have other housing options.
Over $100,000

How this connects
The Texas Water Development Board will study how to keep recreational vehicles and temporary homes safe in areas at risk of flooding. The study will look at federal flood standards and make recommendations to lawmakers by January 2027. This work helps protect our communities from flood damage. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
