The cost of labor and materials for our contractor repairs has been impacted by

inflation tremendously in the last year. Homes are not ready for volunteers until

critical systems repairs are complete. The average cost of contactor repairs is

$17,200. Please consider a donation to make homes safer and more resilient so they will be ready for our fall Volunteer Home Repair Program (VHRP).

Prepare for Hurricane Season

During National Roof Week

Our repairs extend the life of a home for 20 years or more, making it safer and more resilient against storms. During National Roof Week, June 4 – June 10, we're announcing a generous donation of roofing shingles from GAF, the leading roofing and waterproofing manufacturer in North America.

This year’s GAF donation to RTH will replace 50 roofs, but the need is much larger. RTH estimates that 47,600 low-income homeowners in Harris County need a new roof to avoid catastrophic damage.

SHAPE Community Center Revitalization

Our Third Ward Community Revitalization continues. This summer we are renovating SHAPE Community Center, the historic Third Ward institution established in 1969, thanks to a National Neighborhood Promise Grant from Republic Services.

Projects include replacing the roof, repairing sewer line, and improving the safety of the building. These critical repairs will help SHAPE serve the Third Ward community for many years to come.

Serving Veterans

We are excited to announce that Rebuilding Together Houston is one of the recipients of the "Housing for Texas Heroes" grant given out by the Texas Veterans Commission. With these funds, we will provide home repairs to Veteran homeowners throughout Harris County in 2022-2023.

Partner spotlight: Houston Methodist Hospital

Summer heat is sure to threaten Houston area residents more than ever this year. Low-income families living in aging homes with inefficient air quality and temperature equipment are most at risk for health and safety challenges. In response, RTH provides its Safe and Sound Services Program (SSSP): fire and fall prevention, interior temperature control and air quality improvement to support aging in place and overall health. Houston Methodist Hospital and our Board Member Summer Dajani have

championed SSSP since 2021.

New Board Member

Welcome to our new board member Rolando Salinas, Sr. Manager, Market & Segment Strategy at Reliant Energy. Mr. Salinas is also a long-time RTH volunteer. We are happy to have you as a part of our board!
