About Rebuilding Together Houston

Repairs and revitalizes homes for low-income homeowners, keeping Houston neighbors safe and rooted in their communities.

The program serves all Houston residents, with active work happening in the East End and the 77011 area. Any homeowner across the city can request help regardless of where they live.

Safe housing keeps families stable and healthy, especially in Houston's older neighborhoods where many residents can't afford major repairs. When your roof leaks or your AC breaks during summer heat, it becomes a crisis that affects everything from kids' schoolwork to adults' ability to focus on their jobs. Quick repairs prevent bigger, costlier problems down the road.

Contact Rebuilding Together Houston directly through their website or by phone to request an assessment. They'll evaluate your home's urgent needs and connect you with licensed contractors who will do the work at no charge. The service is available to all Houston residents regardless of income, background, or immigration status.
