Home Rehabilitation Programs
Rehabilitates the houses of low-income homeowners (particularly the elderly, disabled, and families with children) so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. All work is provided free of charge to the homeowner. Referrals come from health and human service agencies, community and faith-based organizations, service groups, case managers, and individuals. The homeowners, if physically able, work with the volunteers in the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor. Home assessments determine a home's eligibility based on national and local criteria.
Repairs vary from painting and trash removal to minor repairs such as electrical or plumbing work. Smoke detectors and new locks may be installed. Home modifications and accessibility needs given priority. The repairs must be able to be completed in one day; no major structural repairs and no tree removal.
Yard cleanup is offered by a group of volunteers, a couple of times throughout the summer months (will NOT help with tree removals, tree limbs/branches removals from dead or dying trees, mowing yards or snow removal).
Volunteer Opportunities are available as Rebuilding Together relies on donations of time, money, material and volunteers both skilled and unskilled to help with repairs.
