Stable Homes prevents homelessness by providing rental assistance to low-income families and individuals who are threatened with eviction, including those living with HIV. We work with each family to develop and implement a plan to achieve self-sufficiency, connecting them with other Catholic Charities and community resources.

In collaboration with the Houston Housing Authority and the Coalition for the Homeless, Rapid Re-Housing ends homelessness caused by the pandemic for individuals and families who became homeless during COVID-19 as a result of lost jobs or lost wages.
