Speaks about what Katy Responds role in the community.

Sasha once our Ops manager, now the CEO of Katy Responds. . A Fort Bend County resident for over 12 years, Sasha Cox is deeply involved in community service, from disaster recovery to supporting local schools and nonprofits. She’s served on the I-10 Shootout board, spent six years in the National Charity League, and actively supports youth sports, the arts, and the Cinco Ranch Band.

Katy Responds began after Hurricane Harvey devastated our community in Katy, Texas. Homes were completely flooded, families were displaced, and many homeowners simply could not afford the repairs needed to return home.

In response, a group of local church leaders came together with one simple goal: to help our neighbors repair and recover thus leading to our creation in 2018.  What started as an emergency response quickly became something more as we continued to meet families who needed help long after the storm had passed. Since then, our area has faced additional natural disasters, and we’ve continued to see a steady need for critical home repairs as well as mobility modifications through our Age in Grace program. We are the last stop before homelessness for most. In addition to repairs, we connect homeowners to additional resources with our organizational partnerships who experienced personal hardships.

As the need grew, so did our reach. Today, Katy Responds serves homeowners in West Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Waller County.

Our work is made possible through individual donations, partnerships with local businesses, and support from local grantor and foundations. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to serve our neighbors, restore homes, and bring hope when it’s needed most.
