Nonprofits Hope House Academy, Operation Liberty Hill, Central Texas Table of Grace and Hill Country Community Ministries each received $200,000 after Williamson County commissioners approved funding at a July 14 meeting.
The gist
Williamson County Communications Director Connie Odom said the financing for the four nonprofits is drawn from Williamson County's Community Facility Fund, which accumulates 1% of the tipping fees collected at the Williamson County landfill. The requests for funding are then voted on and approved by commissioners.
The details
Hope House Academy, a long-term residential home for children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, will use the funds to build a safer home closer to the Liberty Hill ISD schools, eliminating their current one-hour commute, according to county documents.
Operation Liberty Hill is an aid center, which offers a thrift store, food pantry and also served as an emergency response site during the July 4, 2025, floods. The funds will support building a new facility to expand its community services.
Central Texas Table of Grace is a transitional campus community providing housing for youth aging out of foster care. The organization plans to use the funding to construct a Round Rock campus, allowing them to expand services to more young people.
Hill Country Community Ministries, a Leander food pantry, will allocate the funding toward a new facility. This will expand their food pantry and add a commercial kitchen, resource center and space for community meetings.
