Habitat Kerr County Flood Recovery Efforts

Behind every home we build is a team making it happen. 🤝

Cody, Scott, and Danny are out there every day doing it all, supporting construction, delivering materials, working with volunteers, and making sure our homes keep moving forward.

We’re grateful for the role they play in this work. We couldn’t do it without them. 💙

We need your help to welcome families home. 🏡

We need your help to welcome families home. 🏡

Habitat for Humanity Kerr County is building homes in our Mariposa community in Kerrville, where 10 families are relocating after losing their homes in the flood. The first homes are just weeks from completion.

Join us on April 10th and 11th from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM as we lay sod for two of these homes, an important step as we prepare to welcome families home.

We’re proud to partner with Dream Team Landscaping to make this possible, and your support helps move us one step closer to the finish line.

If you can join us, please reach out to Baylee at bayleeparks@habitatkerr.org or call 830-792-4844.

Together, we build homes and hope! 💙

Thanks to the incredible support of The Community

Thanks to the incredible support of The Community Foundation Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, ten families impacted by the flood are now moving forward into new homes in Mariposa.

We recently welcomed these families to the neighborhood for an important milestone, their first walk-through. Families had the opportunity to meet with Tom Junkin, our Director of Construction, to learn more about the building process, materials, and what to expect in the weeks ahead.

They were also able to meet their future neighbors, beginning to form the connections that will turn this neighborhood into a true community.

It was a meaningful day, one that marked real progress and what’s ahead for these families. With some homes just weeks from completion, we look forward to welcoming these families home very soon.

What a week 🙌 We had the absolute best time ho

What a week 🙌

We had the absolute best time hosting Eastern Washington University (@ewuoce ) and James from Tennessee! This incredible team showed up ready to work, and because of their dedication, 5 homes in Mariposa are now fully prepped and ready for sod 🌱

They traveled all the way to Kerrville to pour into our community and it shows. Their impact will be felt by families for years to come.

Thank you for giving your time and heart, not just with us, but also alongside @safoodbank and @texansonmission 💙

We had a great morning working alongside Las Aguil

We had a great morning working alongside Las Aguilas! 💙

Their team came together to help repaint a deck rebuilt after the flood, restoring it to its original look, just as the homeowner hoped.

Because of their time and care, another family is one step closer to feeling at home again. Thank you, Las Aguilas!

Thanks to the generous support of State Farm, Habi

Thanks to the generous support of State Farm, Habitat for Humanity Kerr County was able to purchase a skid steer to support our flood recovery efforts.

Having this equipment in house will exponentially increase our productivity as we rebuild. It allows our construction team to work more efficiently and focus more time and resources on what matters most, getting families back into safe homes.

In this video, Burke is putting the skid steer to work at our Mariposa community, moving materials and preparing the yards for the 10 families who will be relocating there after the flood.

We are incredibly grateful for partners like State Farm who step up when communities need them most. Thank you for helping us rebuild and restore hope in Kerr County and for being a #goodneighbor.

A future park is beginning to take shape in Habita

A future park is beginning to take shape in Habitat’s Maud Jennings neighborhood! 🌱

Local student Madelyn Hall partnered with Habitat for Humanity Kerr County for her Stars & Stripes Award project, the highest honor in the American Heritage Girls program. The award challenges young leaders to design and lead a project that makes a lasting impact on their community while serving others with a servant’s heart.

Madelynn envisioned creating a park for the families living in Habitat’s Maud Jennings community. Her project includes a walking trail, benches, and a tetherball area, and she is responsible for planning the project, fundraising, recruiting volunteers, and leading the workdays to bring the vision to life.

Friday marked the first volunteer workday, where supporters came out to help Madelynn get started. Volunteers cleared the future park space by removing cacti and thorns, picking up trash, and trimming low hanging branches to make the area safe for kids.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who funded the project, Madelyn’s vision is coming to life!

The park will be named Founders Park, honoring Habitat Kerr County’s founders:
Bill Blackburn, Burley Burleson, and Maud Jennings.

We are incredibly proud of Madelyn’s leadership and grateful for the volunteers who came out to support her project. 💚

We’re excited to officially introduce Burke Hess

We’re excited to officially introduce Burke Hesson as Habitat for Humanity Kerr County’s Construction Manager, supporting the construction of our traditional Habitat homes and our disaster repair & rebuild program!

Burke grew up in Ingram, graduated from Ingram Tom Moore High School, and spent many summers working around the camps in Hunt - building a lifelong connection to the Hill Country. Burke spent nearly 10 years as a superintendent with Pulte Homes before launching his own remodeling company, Hesson Homes. He later returned to large-scale homebuilding with Bloomfield Homes in Dallas.

After the July 4th flood, he spent nearly a month in Hunt helping neighbors recover. That experience led him back home and ultimately to Habitat through his friendship with Tom Junkin.

Many in our community know Tom from leading Habitat’s construction program for the past eight years. Tom has recently been promoted to Director of Construction, where he now oversees both Habitat’s traditional home builds and our disaster repair and rebuild efforts.

For Burke, joining Habitat is a chance to give back to the community he has always called home, helping families achieve safe, affordable homeownership. We are grateful to have Burke on the Habitat team as we continue building homes, restoring hope, and helping families move forward across Kerr County.

We are so grateful to this team from Westward Envi

We are so grateful to this team from Westward Environmental for spending their Saturday serving alongside us!

When local companies choose to invest in their community, it makes a real and lasting impact. Whether it’s painting, landscaping, or getting homes ready for families to move in, every helping hand moves us one step closer to welcoming another family home.

Our mission would not be possible without volunteers who are willing to show up and service. Together, we build! 💙

We’re excited to share that we recently partnere

We’re excited to share that we recently partnered with Just Help One and we are so grateful to have their support! 💙

Their volunteer team coordinated with our Disaster Recovery Construction Manager, and independently organized and completed much needed repairs for families in our community.

Their motto says it best: “If everyone would do a little, no one would have to do a lot.” That spirit of shared service is what makes rebuilding possible.

Thank you, Just Help One! 🙌

We are beyond grateful every time the Boerne chapt

We are beyond grateful every time the Boerne chapter of Young Men’s Service League (YMSL) joins us for their monthly volunteer day! 💙

These homes are still actively under construction and not yet move-in ready but thanks to 20 dedicated volunteers, we were able to clean and prepare 10 homes so they are safe, hazard-free, and picture-ready for a very special moment.

Soon, families impacted by flooding will walk through their future homes for the first time! While there’s still work ahead, YMSL helped ensure that their first look is one filled with hope, pride, and possibility.

Thank you, YMSL Boerne, for showing up with servant hearts and helping create meaningful moments for these families.
