In Houston's brutal summers, a working air conditioner isn't a luxury — it can be life-saving. Power also keeps food from spoiling, lets kids do homework, and runs medical equipment. Water lets your family cook, clean, and stay healthy. When any of those go out, bigger problems — like eviction or a health emergency — can follow fast. These programs exist so a tough month doesn't turn into a crisis.
For over 100 years, BakerRipley has been part of Houston's fabric. We run 30+ community centers across the city, reaching over 500,000 neighbors a year — from free tax preparation and English classes to emergency rental assistance and workforce training. Where you live should not determine whether you thrive.
