Help Neighbors in need

Temperature control is part of our Safe and Sound Services Program, sponsored by Houston Methodist Hospital. RTH provides energy efficient window Heat/AC units. To support this program, please make a donation. $500 provides potentially lifesaving temperature control to another neighbor in need. During times of extreme weather, you can make a difference!


Bring the joy of a safe home to a family in need

While many of us start the new year with hope and optimism, more than 119,000 low-income Harris County homeowners, including seniors, veterans, and working families with children, are living in unsafe homes. Hazards such as leaking roofs, active mold, no hot water, dangerous electrical systems, and holes in flooring increase these families’ health risks.

Anthony and Lafonda Pradia are one example. Mr. Pradia is a veteran of the U.S. Army, whose movement and income are hindered by a disability he sustained during his service.  Their house suffered damage in 2017 during Hurricane Harvey when a neighbor’s tree crashed through their roof. Since then, they have been living in sub-par housing conditions, unable to afford much needed repairs to this home that was built by his grandfather many decades ago.

Thanks to our integrated team of professional contractors, dedicated staff, and caring volunteers, the Pradias’ prayers were answered when they discovered our free home repair services in 2023. They are so grateful for our repairs so they can age in place in a safe and healthy home that they can be proud to pass on to the next generation.

Your gift can make the difference for neighbors living in homes that can be saved so 2024 will be safer, brighter, and more secure.
