Every year Hands on Housing, a program of Interfaith Action of Central Texas (iACT), hosts a home repair event: Raise the Roof. We use skilled (and unskilled) volunteers to repair and paint homes of 10 low-income homeowners in the Austin area. We accomplish this with the generous partnership of service teams formed by local business and congregations. Whether you're interested in participating as an individual, or if you've got a whole team that can help us out, we'd love to have you! Previous housing repair experience is not necessary, but definitely appreciated.

Mission Statement
iACT cultivates peace and respect through interfaith dialogue, service and celebration.
Description
iACT's mission is to cultivate peace and respect through interfaith service, celebration, and dialogue. This mission is realized every day through our three programs: Red Bench, iACT for Refugees, and Hands on Housing.
iACT for Refugees: The only federally approved program providing ESL and cultural orientation classes to newly arrived refugees in the Austin area.
Red Bench: This dialogue series fosters unity by allowing people to meet others from different faith backgrounds, discover shared values and find common ground.
Hands on Housing: Austin's largest volunteer-based housing rehabilitation program provides critical home repairs to impoverished senior citizens, disabled individuals, and single parent households.
iACT also hosts several celebrations throughout the year, including the Hope Awards, A Night Under One Sky, and the Interfaith Day of Thanks Service and Celebration.
