The word “home” should mean safety, happiness and belonging. For some, it instead means uncertainty, isolation and hopelessness. Rebuilding Together affiliates and volunteers nationwide are changing this reality by repairing homes, revitalizing communities and rebuilding lives.
Rising costs and unhealthy housing conditions constantly threaten the culture of our neighborhoods. Rebuilding Together’s home and community work gives our neighbors an option they didn’t have before — to remain safely in their homes and our communities.
Can you believe it?! Since 1988, the Rebuilding Together network has worked with over four million volunteers to repair
and renovate more than 210,000 homes, nonprofit facilities and community spaces, impacting over six million people. #RebuildingTogether
Tip #2: Install adequate lighting (i.e. night lights in hallways) throughout the house, but especially in unsafe areas such as stairwells and the bathroom. #NationalAgingInPlaceWeek#SafeAtHome (3/4)
