What is Rebuilding Together?
Rebuilding America...one house at a time.

Mission Statement

Rebuilding Together's mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, from the elderly and people with disabilities, to families with children, live in warmth, safety, and independence. In partnership with communities, our goal is to make a sustainable impact.

We make this impact through providing necessary repairs free of charge to existing homeowners. These necessary repairs often include home modifications, roofing, plumbing, and electrical repairs and/or improvements - our goal is to provide a warm, safe and dry environment for low-income homeowners , enabling them to live independently and with dignity.

While many affiliates provide year-round services, all affiliates plan and prepare rebuilding projects or another special event on National Rebuilding Day, typically held on the last Saturday in April.

Rebuilding Together is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and promotes the replication and coordination of affiliates throughout the United States. Founded in 1988, the national office provides assistance to affiliates in program development, board and staff development, marketing, communications, and financial management.

A national movement dedicated to preventing homelessness and rebuilding local communities. A 'neighbors helping neighbors' program founded in 1973 by Bobby Trimble in Midland, TX lending a hand to low-income families in their effort to remain in their homes. A weekend blitz (usually the last Saturday in April ) where people from all walks of life in the community work side by side to repair a damaged ceiling, bring heat to a cold home or replace plumbing that is old and leaking.
