Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group

The mission of CBDRG is to strengthen regional long-term recovery by addressing and jointly resolving unmet, disaster-related needs of individuals in the community who lack the ability to recover on their own. Our vision is to provide long-term recovery assistance through advocacy, volunteer labor and donations focused on repair and rebuild of homes, holistic case management and spiritual & emotional care to the disaster-stricken households of the Coastal Bend.

Since 2015, the Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group (CBDRG) continues to make an impact in the community through its coordinated recovery efforts. Not only by helping those affected by past natural disasters, but by being prepared to help those who might need help in the future.

Being prepared has allowed CBDRG the opportunity to repair or provide new homes for disaster survivors who lack the means to recover on their own. Recently, the organization and their partners broke ground at Tierra de Esperanza, a joint project established to provide 23 brand new homes for families who have yet to recover from Hurricane Harvey. To date CBDRG Case Management has reached out to over 7,000 Hurricane Harvey Survivors to assist them with developing their recovery and locating the necessary resource for their recovery. Since Hurricane Harvey CBDRG has completed 281 home replacements and home repairs.

CBDRG relies primarily on volunteers, grants, and donations to fulfill their mission of strengthening regional long-term disaster recovery. Now's your chance to support that mission.
