Rebuilding Together (National) is the nation s largest volunteer home rehabilitation organization, providing repairs and modifications free of charge to homeowners in need. With the support of private industry and 275,000 volunteers, the 232 Rebuilding Together affiliates in 46 states work to preserve and revitalize over 1800 communities nationwide by repairing and upgrading over 10,000 owner-occupied homes and community centers each year.

Established in 1988, Rebuilding Together s core mission is to provide free home repair and rehabilitation services to low-income homeowners. Central to that mission is serving the elderly, the disabled, families with children, and veterans. Improving home energy efficiency and conservation are also part of Rebuilding Together s programming efforts. Further, Rebuilding Together has assumed an important role in disaster recovery and reconstruction initiatives in the Gulf.

Rebuilding Together is unique in its mission of preserving the owner-occupied houses of those in need. To strengthen this distinctive role, Rebuilding Together is enhancing its advocacy and public policy program by creating greater visibility in Washington for Rebuilding Together and its mission; connecting the national network of Rebuilding Together affiliates with their members of Congress; taking positions on policy issues that are important to the community of housing organizations; strengthening Rebuilding Together s place at the public policy table discussing low-income housing issues; and working to expand available resources and programs for the affiliates.
