flag The National Flood Insurance Program may shut down by Sept. 30, ending coverage for 4.7 million homeowners unless Congress acts.

flag The National Flood Insurance Program faces potential shutdown by Sept. 30 if Congress doesn’t pass a short-term extension, risking loss of coverage for 4.7 million homeowners, including many in Texas. flag Without reauthorization, policy renewals and new purchases would halt, disrupting home sales and weakening disaster response as the program’s borrowing capacity drops from $30 billion to $1 billion. flag Existing policyholders remain protected if they pay within a 30-day grace period, and claims will be processed, but no new funding or policy changes are allowed during the lapse. flag Lawmakers from both parties urge long-term reform, but political divisions persist over funding and coverage fairness, especially as inland flooding risks grow.
