National Initiatives
National Rebuilding Day
National Rebuilding Day is our signature annual event. This event occurs
in April and is the culmination of a year of planning, evaluating, training,
organizing, and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of community volunteers.
Volunteers join local affiliate leaders to repair and restore houses and nonprofit
facilities, revitalizing entire communities and making a lasting impression on the
families and individuals who are helped. Read more...
Safe & Healthy Homes
In addition to traditional rehabilitation and repair, our affiliates deliver
emergency services and home modifications. Home modifications increase
home accessibility and safety, prevent falls, and make it possible for elderly and
disabled homeowners to age in place. Energy efficient repairs and upgrades
lower consumption and save homeowners money. Read more...
Gulf Coast Operations
In 2005, Rebuilding Together’s Gulf Coast Operations Initiative was launched in
response to the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We are well on our
way to fulfilling the goal of our Rebuild 1000 program, enabling hundreds of
homeowners and their families to return to their homes along the Gulf Coast.
The Gulf Coast Operations Initiative continues to rebuild low-income homes
and to develop the capacity of our Gulf Coast affiliates, from Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Southeast Texas. Read more...
Veterans Housing
Rebuilding Together’s Veterans Housing Initiative was created to meet the
growing needs of veterans from past and present wars. The initiative fills gaps
in home repair services for retired and active service members by increasing
the home’s accessibility, enabling veterans to live independently and safely in
their own homes. Read more...
Organizational Development Institute
The Organizational Development Institute was created to increase the training
and technical services offered by the National Office to Rebuilding Together
Affiliates. It seeks to meet our affiliates in the life-cycles of their organizations
providing training and capacity building that will increase their abilities to
grow organizationally and increase their community impact. Through expertdeveloped
curricula, the Organizational Development Institute enriches our
affiliates’ abilities to revitalize their communities.
