I'm overwhelmed': July 4 flood survivor begins new chapter with the help of community organizations | Zack Briggs (KENS 5, San Antonio)
Nick Panagiotou moved into his new RV home Tuesday, which was a gift made possible by the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas.
KENS 5 & Kens5.com in San Antonio highlighted the work being done by the diocesan Flood Relief team made possible through generous grants provided by The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD). The Diocese of West Texas is leading the effort to provide safe housing, rehoming 50 individuals and families by the one-year anniversary of the flood. “It started off with just RVs. That has since changed because the need is ever increasing,” said Jody Guerra with the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas. “We’re discovering more and more people that have been affected that didn’t know that help was out there.”
