iACT’s Hands on Housing utilizes volunteers and skilled professionals to repair the homes of senior citizens and disabled individuals who are living in deep poverty. Our goal is to keep our homeowners safe and help them remain in the homes and neighborhoods they love.
We believe that repairing homes restores hope to those who need it most and changes the hearts of those who do the work. Hands on Housing is a transformational expression of compassion in action.
iACT Hands on Housing is funded through the City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development, Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) to administer the GO Repair, Architectural Barrier Removal (ABR), Plumbing, and Private Lateral Line (P-LAT) Programs and private funding to provide home repairs.
