Homeowner Hub

Looking for home repair assistance or aid in the face of discrimination? The City of Houston Housing Department is host to two programs that can help. We encourage you to explore the available resources in more detail on the pages below.

Home Repair Assistance

The Single-Family Home Repair Program evaluates damaged homes and helps make repairs needed to protect a homeowner’s life, health, and safety. The program gives consideration to seniors over the age of 62, families with children under 18, and people with disabilities. In cases where homes are severely damaged, the program will reconstruct homes for homeowners.

How I practice my religion should not limit my housing choice
Our race should not determine our ability to buy a home
See me as a renter, not as a woman
The housing act protects my family
My disability shouldnt restrict where I can rent
My skin color should not matter to a realtor

Fair Housing

The Fair Housing Act protects individuals and families from discrimination in the sale, rental, financing, or advertising of housing based on race, color, religion, family status, national origin, sex, or disability. HCD is committed to promoting fair housing and providing affordable homes in all neighborhoods.
