As we bid farewell to another Black History Month, “Rebuilding Together” was kind enough to offer an update about their work rebuilding homes in the historic Third Ward, a landmark African American community for over 150 years.

In 2022, Rebuilding Together Houston expanded its Community Revitalization Program into this neighborhood, which may have more families at risk of losing their home than any other neighborhood in Houston.

The work here will extend far beyond this month and all of 2023. The group estimates there are over 1,000 homeowners in the Third Ward that need our services. With the help of donors and volunteers, they help many families and improve the community.

1)   Roof replacement

2)   Structural stabilization

3)   Electrical repairs

4)   Plumbing repairs

5)   Door replacement to improve safety of the home
