After a flurry of applications forced a North Texas agency to close a storm shelter rebate program, a new waiting list for applicants in multiple counties will roll out in the coming days.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) will open an online waitlist for Safe Room program rebates June 21-30.
All 16 counties in the NCTCOG region will have waitlists open in a rolled-out schedule. Once a waitlist has been opened for a specific county, it will not close.
To be placed on the waitlist, applicants will need to provide their name and address at www.nctsaferoom.com once the waitlist for their county opens. Those without Internet access can call 817-695-9235 and leave a voicemail with their name, phone number, address, and county. All submissions online or via phone will have a time and date stamp, according to the NCTCOG.
Please see the list below to see each county's open date and time.

Safe Room rebate program officials said the waitlists will help the NCTCOG assess demand for the program and allow them to communicate the need to federal funding sources.
The NCTCOG said the Safe Room program is not retroactive, meaning applicants must be approved prior to an installation of a storm shelter.
Those who have already applied to the Safe Room program will be notified that their application has been received and do not need to apply again. Applicants that join the waitlist will be contacted by the NCTCOG after the program receives additional funding. Organizers say this process could take 3 to 18 months.
The Metro Safe Room Rebate Program is funded by a $1.395 million Federal Emergency Management Agency grant.
The rebate program offers residents living or developing in North Texas counties a chance to qualify for half the cost of construction for an individual safe room, up to $3,000. But the rooms must be from a vendor approved by the National Storm Shelter Association or the American Tornado Shelter Association to qualify for reimbursement. NBC 5 Investigates first told you about the federal funding May 23.
