A network of Texas community organizations is calling on state leaders to offer financial aid to families affected by February’s devastating winter storm.
The Network of Texas Industrial Areas Foundation Organizations, a coalition of interfaith service groups, joined The Metropolitan Organization of Houston at a Monday afternoon news conference in favor of state-level reform after the freeze.
Faith leaders, activists and Texans impacted by the weather advocated for bills already under consideration in the Legislature, including Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 3460, and pushed for new measures to aid residents harmed both by the freeze and the associated power outages.
