Rebuilding Together Houston is the
Disaster Recovery Expert
Low-income homeowners are especially vulnerable to natural disasters because of inadequate housing, fragile health and lack of back-up resources in case of emergencies.
The neighbors RT serves are unable to repair their homes because they are not insured or underinsured.
RT is an acknowledged leader in recovery, using our deep connection to communities and our construction expertise to restore homes throughout Harris County.
Whenever possible, RT not only repairs the damage inflicted by the current disaster but also deferred maintenance.

Our Work with Veterans
Almost 40 Years in the Making: U.S Military Veterans in Houston
The greater Houston Area is home to over 300,000 Veterans.
Since 1982, Rebuilding Together Houston has used our unique combination of licensed contractors and dedicated community volunteers to repair over 3,000 homes of Veterans.
Professional contractors complete repairs to structural, roof, and electrical and plumbing systems.
Safety upgrades prevent falls and fires include grab bars, steps and handrails, smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguishers, and air filtration systems.
Disabled Veterans may receive extensive home renovations.
Wheelchair ramps are built as needed to improve homeowner mobility and independence.
Volunteers scrape, caulk, and paint exterior walls, repair siding and fascia, and secure doors and windows to seal the envelope.
