OUR PROGRAMS
Housing
The Foundation is passionate about addressing the housing needs of vulnerable populations. We plan to establish an Emergency Hardship Assistance Fund to provide monetary support to individuals and families affected by financial hardship and/or natural disasters.
Emergency Power Program
In response to increasing natural disasters and power outages in Houston, the Pete and Thomas Foundation has partnered with Bread of Life Inc. to launch the Emergency Power Program. This initiative aims to support senior citizens across Houston by providing essential backup generators to ensure access to power during emergencies. The need for reliable power sources has become urgent, especially following the severe impact of Hurricane Beryl, which left thousands without electricity in dangerous summer heat. The program continues to support seniors year-round, offering assistance during emergencies to protect vulnerable populations and enhance community resilience.
In 2023, the Pete & Thomas Foundation partnered with the Montrose Center to support the senior citizens living at their senior housing complex. Pete & Thomas Foundation surprised the senior residents with 175 store gift cards to get food and other necessities. The Montrose Center runs the only LGBTQ-affirming, affordable, senior living center in Houston.
