					<div class='mailmunch-forms-before-post' style='display: none !important;'></div><p class="xmsonormal">The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it is working to accelerate buyouts of repeatedly flooded properties following Hurricane Harvey in hopes of helping Houstonians escape perennially soggy neighborhoods and keeping the federal government from paying to rebuild homes time and time again.</p>
<p class="xmsonormal">It&#8217;s unclear how many homes in Houston might be affected by the buyout plan. Roy Wright, the FEMA official who runs the National Flood Insurance Program, declined to provide details.</p>
<div class="hdnce-e hdnce-item-47758">“I’ve got to make sure I can make the program work,” Wright said in an interview on Thursday. “I’ve got folks working right now.”</div>
<p>FEMA is receiving thousands of Harvey claims and paying out millions of dollars every day. By the end of Wednesday, more than 80,000 Texans had filed claims and FEMA had issued about $76 million in advance payments.</p>
<div class="A300-placeholder collapse"> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-55529" src="http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2-148-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" srcset="http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2-148-300x209.jpg 300w, http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2-148-768x534.jpg 768w, http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2-148.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Local officials are urging Wright to move quickly now, he said.</p>
<p>Wright said his department should figure out if such a program could work, and how, in the next couple of weeks.</p>
</div>
<p>“And we’re not done yet,” said Wright.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-55530" src="http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1-165-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1-165-300x225.jpg 300w, http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1-165-768x576.jpg 768w, http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1-165-322x242.jpg 322w, http://joy105.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1-165.jpg 920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Of the 1.1 million residential structures in Harris County, only one in five,  or about 230,000, have national flood insurance. Of the county’s 130,000 residential buildings in “high hazard” areas — those in the so-called 100-year floodplains &#8212; less than half, or about 55,000, are covered, despite requirements for such insurance.</p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div>
<p>Wright said the buy-out acceleration was spurred, at least in part, by a Houston homeowner who called his office late one evening last week. The homeowner, whom he did not identify, had returned to her home after the Harvey flood and called to ask for a buyout.</p>
<div class="S300-placeholder collapse"></div>
<p>FEMA has a buyout program now. But it typically wouldn’t kick in for a couple years, Wright said. He wants homeowners to be able to consider buyouts instead of rebuilding.</p>
<div class="asset_zone zoneInlineA" data-config-asset-position="7"></div>
<p>“On these multiple loss properties, I’m working with my team and lawyers on ways I can move that to the front,” he said. “The point is, I’m not going to make someone redo their house, then re-buy it.”</p>
<p>Harris County has already bought out more homeowners than any county in the country, Wright said, spending $225 million in purchases over the last 20 years.</p>
