Disaster Assistance
The presidential disaster declaration of Sept. 9 made federal assistance available to eligible individuals and business owners in Bastrop County. An amendment on Sept. 9 added Colorado, Houston, Leon, Travis and Williamson counties. This disaster declaration became effective August 30, 2011.
That assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs and for other serious disaster-related needs, such as medical and dental expenses or funeral and burial costs. Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration also may be available to cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other recoveries and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.
It's critically important for homeowners, renters and business owners in the six Texas counties to register for federal assistance -- even if they are concerned that they may not qualify or they haven't been able to get back to their homes. Officials with the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) say residents of the area may be surprised to find they actually DO qualify for assistance.
Officials are encouraging residents in Bastrop, Colorado, Leon, Houston, Travis and Williamson counties to call 1-800-621-3362 even if:
  • They have insurance
  • Their homes are inaccessible
  • They are renters
  • They already registered with a state, local or nonprofit organization
  • They think they may not be eligible
  • They are waiting to see if their homes were damaged
  • They only had minor damage

Leander lies on the northeast edge of Texas’ Hill Country, roughly ten miles due west of Interstate 35 on US 183, just north of Austin TX. Since 2000, the community has grown from 7,600 residents to more than 30,000 in 2010. This makes Leander the 37th fastest growing City in the United States (US Census Bureau, 2009).

Affordability and quality schools have been the historical drivers for the community’s growth. Single-family residential homes run the gamut from first-time to executive styled living. The Leander Independent School District’s (LISD) 37 campuses provide a varied curriculum. This gives more than 30,000 students a great start to their future.
 
Over the past decade the City has committed itself to knowing that change is inevitable, so it matters what you do with it. The civic and business leadership collaborated on the community’s future. Leander’s two award-winning land planning initiatives have provided a framework for sustainable development. We will build a community that lives, works and plays together.
Leander invites residents and visitors to build a sense of place. Thank you for visiting the City of Leander web page.
