Rebuilding Together Austin

This World Environment Day, we want to proclaim that sustainability starts at home. Especially the home you’re already in.

The most affordable home is often the one a family already has. And when we repair existing homes, we do more than protect housing stability, we reduce waste, preserve materials, and make better use of the resources already invested in our Central Texas neighborhoods.

At RTASA, home repair is environmental work, housing work, and community work. By helping homeowners stay safely in place, we support stronger families, more stable neighborhoods, and a healthier environment.

Repairing homes protects people. Preserving homes protects the environment.

Thanks to the generous support of USAA, Rebuilding Together Austin San Antonio helped an 82-year-old Veteran in San Antonio remain safely in the home he loves.

Living on a fixed income, this homeowner faced significant exterior repairs, including a failing roof and rotting, missing siding that left the home vulnerable to the elements. Through this project, RTASA replaced the roof, repaired and replaced damaged siding, and painted the home's exterior—restoring both protection and pride of place.

These repairs support two of the Seven Principles of Healthy Housing: Keep It Dry and Keep It Maintained, helping prevent water intrusion and preserving the home's long-term safety and stability.

Because every Veteran deserves a safe and healthy place to call home.

RTASA is honored to be featured in the San Antonio Area Foundation Giving Guide through the Successful Aging & Living in San Antonio (SALSA) initiative.

As part of the SALSA cohort, we’re proud to help advance housing solutions that support older adults, aging in place, and long-term housing stability across San Antonio.

Thank you to the San Antonio Area Foundation for highlighting this important work.
