HomeAid Houston
is Building a Solution to Homelessness

“It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.” - Irish Proverb

It is in the shelters built by HomeAid Houston’s dedicated builders where people live, thrive, and become productive citizens. The shelters are built with a heart for HomeAid’s mission to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement, and education.

HomeAid Houston, a 501 c 3 charity was established by the leadership of the Greater Houston Builders Association in 2003 and is one of 19 chapters of HomeAid America, the nation’s largest provider of transitional shelters for the homeless. HomeAid identifies long term, stable homeless care providers, who need additional capacity and pairs them with GHBA builders, remodelers, vendors, and suppliers who donate their time, materials, and labor to help build hope and homes for the homeless.

Our mission gives us broad latitude to engage in building projects across the entire Continuum of Care, from emergency shelters to transitional housing to permanent supportive housing. Every HomeAid project supports an agency that provides services that help residents move toward self-sufficiency, such as education and job skills training, physical and emotional support, etc.

HOMEAID OUTREACH

HomeAid Houston is always looking for enthusiastic individuals for volunteer opportunities with HomeAid Houston or to connect with our community and agency partners!

At the same time, HomeAid Houston maintains partnerships with various homeless care providers in Houston to understand the agencies’ immediate and ongoing needs.

HomeAid Houston evaluates those needs and determines if a volunteer group can provide assistance.

If so, HomeAid Houston matches the agency with interested volunteers. If not, the need will be referred to another HomeAid Houston Program: Builds, Cares, or Connects.

Based on the agency’s need, volunteers may complete Outreach Projects or organize item donation drives.

HomeAid Houston will coordinate with both the agency and volunteer group to plan a successful Outreach Project or item drive and ensure the agency’s needs are met.
