Rebuilding Together - Houston

Rebuilding Together - Houston (doing business as RT - H) is a Houston-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization that delivers housing rehabilitation and repair services to very low- and low-income residents as a federal grant recipient, operating primarily as a sub-recipient under Rebuilding Together, Inc. and split evenly between prime and sub-recipient roles across its federal footprint.

RT - H's capability portfolio centers on housing preservation, accessibility modifications, and remediation of substandard housing conditions in rural Texas communities. The organization's concrete work includes individual homeowner repairs, rental property rehabilitation, consumer cooperative housing projects, and disaster recovery housing assistance. Representative awards include a $150,000 Rural Housing Preservation Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service (CFDA 10.433) awarded July 29, 2026, with completion by August 29, 2027; a $200,000 Rural Housing Preservation Grant from USDA Rural Housing Service awarded October 8, 2024; and a Rural Housing Preservation Grant awarded October 28, 2023, with ultimate completion by December 4, 2026. Across these and other awards, RT - H has obligated $2.3 million in combined federal funding over recent years.

RT - H's customer base is concentrated with two agencies. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Single Family Housing Program accounts for 3 awards (50% of the tracked portfolio), while the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development comprises 1 award. RT - H's recent award activity is sparse — one award per year or fewer across 2023, 2024, and 2026 — with a single award (the July 2026 USDA grant) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization maintains administrative costs below the 20 percent threshold required by the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program and emphasizes maximizing the percentage of very low-income persons assisted through efficient fund deployment.
