Yes. Buildings and homes can collapse in a tornado. One common way this happens is the roof comes off, causing the walls to become unstable. Depending on the strength of the structure this would take and EF2 or EF3 tornado for partial collapse, and likely an EF4 for complete collapse. In an extremely powerful tornado such as a high EF4 or EF5 houses are blown away rather than collapse. Weak tornadoes usually do not cause significant structural damage.

Do tornadoes cause damage because they cause homes and buildings to cave in?
Tornadoes can cause houses and other buildings to collapse, but most are not strong enough to do that. A typical tornado can tear away parts of roofs, break windows, and topple trees. Entire roofs and walls can go airborne in stronger tornadoes. Weak structures impacted by strong tornadoes often get blown away rather than collapsing. In very violent tornadoes the same thing can happen to well constructed houses.
