we save homes!
For the cost of building ONE new home,
Rebuilding Together Houston can repair up to 18!
Why Repair instead of Building new homes?
Building new homes takes years and costs a fortune. Restoring an existing home takes a fraction of the time and costs a fraction of the price.
When low-income seniors lose their homes to unsafe living conditions, they have nowhere to go. Availability of affordable rental units for those earning under $35,000 a year is at historic lows, and assisted living is out of reach at $46,000 to $62,000 annually. In Houston, nursing home care averages $68,000 to $91,000 per year, placing a devastating burden on families and taxpayers alike.
There is a better, smarter way…
For just $10,000 to $30,000, we can restore a home to a safe, resilient condition—adding 20+ years to its life.
-
We repair homes that low-income families already own to allow seniors to age in place. We help families afford housing in the communities they helped built.
Nearly 90% of Rebuilding Together Houston homeowners choose to age in place once repairs are complete
-
Repairs safeguards a family's most treasured—and often only—financial asset, ensuring it is passed on to future generations.
-
The most affordable homes are the one we already have. Preservation leverages prior investments in affordability by extending the life of homes we’ve already created.
This work isn’t just about repairs. It’s about preserving dignity, protecting generational memories, and helping families pass on one of the few financial assets they own: their home.
