Bad things happen when good people stand by and do nothing.

We need help to protect people from corporate abuse in the home building industry and ensure that homes don't leak, foundations don't fail, and families aren't forced into foreclosure and financial ruin. 

How you can help:

If a new non-profit group can take on lobbyists for the $35 Billion Texas homebuilding industry and win with no money, imagine what we can do with an energized grass roots movement and grant funding.

Do you have a Lemon?

We want new and newly-remodeled homes to be properly engineered and built by licensed builders and with regulatory oversight, where builders are held accountable to homeowners who have fair access to legal remedies if disputes arise. With a Lemon Law for Homes, builders who can't fix serious defects in a reasonable time would be required to buy them back.

Do you live in a Defective or Crooked House? 

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.

He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.

He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,

and they all lived together in a crooked little house.
