Rebuilding Together – Offering free assistance to seniors and the disabled

Perhaps you know of a senior and disabled member of our community who could use some assistance?  Rebuilding Together offers FREE support to ensure seniors can live safely in their homes.  As we get older, it can become more difficult to care for our homes and ensure our safety.  If you are interested or have a neighbor who might make for a great candidate for their services, please use the attached application. 

 

Rebuilding Together San Francisco provides free repair and renovation programs for low-income, elderly and disabled San Franciscans and for nonprofit and community facilities. The programs address basic living, life event and quality of life needs of homeowners and the people served by the facilities with which they work. The work they do creates safer environments and makes it possible for people to live independently for a longer time in their own homes.

The organization was founded in 1989, just prior  to the Loma Prieta earthquake. Known then as Christmas in April, the organization was created through the grassroots collaboration of several business, labor and community organizations in San Francisco.

With the support and involvement of businesses and individuals, Rebuilding Together sets in motion a cycle of renewal, community-building and civic engagement. Since 1989, they have rehabilitated more than 2,000 homes and 290 facilities serving tens of thousands of people. Hundreds of civic-minded companies, religious and community groups support the work they do with financial and in-kind resources.

RTSF is a local affiliate of Rebuilding Together, a national organization that includes 195 affiliates serving 500 communities nationwide, and mobilizing thousands of volunteers each year.
