On June 7, the Travis County Commissioners Court approved $1.29 million in reimbursements to the county’s Strategic Housing Finance Corporation to cover costs related to relocating families from the Rosemont at Oak Valley apartments.
The affordable apartment complex was heavily damaged during Winter Storm Uri, including broken pipes, a loss of electricity and water damage, and about 85 families had to be temporarily relocated.
In July 2021, residents at at the complex, located at 2800 Collins Creek Drive near South Pleasant Valley Road and Oltorf Street, who had sustained significant damage from the storm received notices to vacate the property by the end of the month. Travis County commissioners reached an agreement with SHFC, which is part of the Housing Authority of Travis County, to prevent the residents from being evicted and to instead temporally relocate the residents.
The June 7 action brings Travis County’s reimbursement total to $1.68 million.
