Rebuilding Together preserves and revitalizes houses and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly or disabled, and families with children, live in warmth, safety and independence. Our goal is to make a sustainable impact in partnership with the community.

The number of Low-income homeowners increases each year. The current 24 million low-income homeowner families is expected to grow to an astonishing 28.5 million in the year 2010. More and more families are placed in the position of choosing between vital necessities such as food or medicine and a roof that leaks. Disabled homeowners cannot afford the modifications that allow them to "age in place" and remain in their own homes. Rebuilding Together works to ensure that as many of those families as possible do not have to make these difficult choices. Individual families are referred to us through neighborhood associations, churches, synagogues, community organizations and service groups or by self referrals.

We work throughout the year, on an emergency basis, to provide critical services. Most of our volunteer effort culminates on Rebuilding Day, held the last Saturday in April. Legions of volunteers come together to rehabilitate 30-40 home in April each year, in Omaha. Homeowners, trade professionals, and volunteers work together to preserve and revitalize the community.

Who volunteers? Anyone can volunteer to make an impact in our community! Rebuilding Together needs people of all talents and skill levels, from people who can help scrape paint to those who are trained craftsman. Everyone is welcome to join in! Trades people are always in demand, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and others with special skills donate their time and skills.
