TEXARKANA, TX HOME PROGRAM
Texarkana, Texas has received a grant from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to provide decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing for low-income homeowners. Homeowners who are eligible for the HOME Program can apply to have their existing house or mobile home demolished and a new home built at the same site. There is no cost to the homeowner and assistance is provided in the form of a five-year grant or a 15-year deferred forgivable loan. If the homeowner sells their home before that time period has ended, they must repay a portion of the cost. They also are responsible for maintaining insurance on their house and continuing to stay current on their property taxes during that time period. Review the application for more information.
PROGRAM TO REBUILD HOMES
The Texarkana HOME Program will host a two-day event on October 22nd and 23rd from 10am to 3pm at the Bowie County Health Center located at 902 W 12th Street, Texarkana, Texas to inform interested households and support the completion of applications.
​
Each day will launch with a 30-minute information session about how the program and application process works. Representatives will remain on site after the session to support applicants with their documents. The deadline for the initial application is November 8, 2024; the deadline to submit all supplemental materials is November 22, 2024.
