Emergency rental assistance helps Houston families avoid eviction by paying past-due rent directly to landlords when financial crises hit.

BakerRipley's main office is at 6200 Alder Dr, Houston. The program serves all Houston neighborhoods, with deep roots in communities like East End and Gulfton. You can also start the process by phone.
The Resource Center maps the services, programs, and benefits across the city — and the people behind them.

An eviction on your record can follow you for years, making it harder to rent again. Getting help early keeps your family stable, your kids in their schools, and your credit intact. It also supports landlords who count on rental income to keep their buildings running.
For over 100 years, BakerRipley has been part of Houston's fabric. We run 30+ community centers across the city, reaching over 500,000 neighbors a year — from free tax preparation and English classes to emergency rental assistance and workforce training. Where you live should not determine whether you thrive.
