Rural housing preservation grants

Rebuilding Together - Houston received a $150,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing Service under the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program (CFDA 10.433), awarded July 29, 2026, with completion expected by August 29, 2027. The organization delivers housing rehabilitation and repair services targeting very low- and low-income residents in rural Texas communities. Specific services include individual homeowner repairs, rental property rehabilitation, consumer cooperative housing projects, and disaster recovery housing assistance, with a focus on remedying substandard housing conditions and implementing accessibility modifications.

The Rural Housing Preservation Grants program supports repair and rehabilitation of owner-occupied homes, rental properties, and cooperative housing units for eligible rural populations. Rebuilding Together - Houston, a Houston-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, maintains administrative costs below the 20 percent threshold required by the program and prioritizes maximizing the percentage of very low-income persons assisted. The organization operates both as a prime recipient and sub-recipient under the national Rebuilding Together, Inc. network, with this award representing one of the organization's three tracked awards from the USDA Rural Housing Service over recent years.
