Residents of the Las Cañas colonia outside Alton said they do not qualify for assistance to rebuild their homes destroyed in a recent storm.
Dozens of mobile homes were destroyed in the rural Hidalgo County community earlier this month.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry sent employees from the Small Business Administration to provide assistance to homeowners.
But Ann Cass with Proyecto Azteca told Action 4 News that residents do not qualify for the assistance.
She said the colonia residents must make $40,000 and have a high credit score to qualify.
Cass criticized Perry but said her group will try to help the colonia residents build proper homes.
