Rebuilding Together Houston is announcing a year full of special home repair projects, and a 40th Anniversary celebration on May 11th and 12th, 2022.

Rebuilding Together Houston’s history starts in 1982, when Houstonian Robert Mosbacher, Jr. founded the organization and named it after Private Sector Initiatives, his Reagan White House project that called for volunteerism to supplement government programs for those in need. Soon, volunteer home repair became Mosbacher's largest program. In 2003, they joined Rebuilding Together as an affiliate of the national network.

Rebuilding Together has expanded their service, providing home repairs to low-income elderly, U.S. Military Veterans, homeowners with disabilities, and working families in need, all at no cost to them. They have been the only organization in the Houston area to provide hundreds of families annually with home repairs, helping close to 15,000 families since 1982. That’s an average of service to a family a day, every day, for 40 years.

“The work adds 10 to 20 years to the life of a home, making it safer and more resilient against disaster,” noted Christine Holland, Rebuilding Together Houston’s CEO and Executive Director. “Community volunteers and licensed contractors repair the homes, allowing homeowners to age safely in place, and eventually pass the home to a new generation. That helps retain the character of Houston neighborhoods by keeping families in communities that they helped to build.”

The 40th Anniversary of Rebuilding Together will celebrate corporate partners that make the work possible, and share a vision for the future. It is also a celebration of the thousands of volunteers who provide their time, expertise, and passion to the Rebuilding Together mission.

To celebrate the 40-year milestone, Rebuilding Together has planned special events throughout 2022.
