HOW IT BEGAN

Our HISTORY

The Travis County Recovery Alliance (TCRA) was formed in the aftermath of the July 5, 2025, floods that devastated the Sandy Creek, Round Mountain, and Liberty Hill areas of northwest Travis County. What began as a grassroots effort by residents, volunteers, and local organizations quickly grew into a coordinated alliance of faith-based groups, nonprofits, and county partners, including the Central Texas Community Foundation, Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN), and Travis County OEM.

TCRA emerged to ensure survivors were not left behind once the initial response ended. Through collaboration, transparency, and compassion, the Alliance now leads long-term recovery efforts—addressing unmet needs, coordinating rebuilds, supporting mental health and emotional care, and fostering a sense of unity and purpose that carries beyond the disaster.
