Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley
Rebuilding Together is a non-profit organization that performs free home accessibility and safety repairs/modifications for low income and disabled homeowners in Santa Clara County, San Francisco and on the Peninsula. We also serve other non-profit organizations so that they can dedicate their resources to the community rather than to facility repair.
Our Mission
Rebuilding Together brings communities and volunteers together to rehabilitate the homes of low income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they may live in warmth, safety and independence.
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley (RTSV) is an independent affiliate of the national Rebuilding Together organization and is one of the only organizations in Santa Clara County that provides critical repairs at no cost to low-income homeowners and nonprofit facilities by leveraging volunteer labor. Since our establishment in 1991, Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley has renovated nearly 3000 homes and community facilities.
We serve homeowners who cannot afford to make repairs and/or modifications to their homes and whose independence and safety are jeopardized by the condition of their home. Our work preserves affordable housing by transforming homes and lives through critical repairs and accessibility modifications for low-income homeowners and community centers, at no cost to the service recipient. The majority of the low-income homeowners we serve are elderly seniors and/or people with disabilities, who are physically and financially unable to maintain safe and warm living conditions for themselves and their families. Our impact extends beyond the individuals served to revitalize and stabilize vulnerable neighborhoods in our community.
We are able to provide all of our services, at no cost to the recipient, by utilizing volunteer labor and donated and reduced cost supplies and materials. We could not provide life-changing repairs for our low-income neighbors without the generous support of our sponsors. Most of the work is completed by community volunteers who generously donate their time and talents to help out.
Without donors, we cannot fund our projects…without volunteers, we cannot perform our work…and without clients, we cannot serve our community. To get involved in our life-changing work by supporting us, volunteering your time, or applying for repairs, email [email protected] or visit our website www.rtsv.org for more information.
