How do Rebuilding Together Colorado's Programs Work?

Once we receive your complete application, our staff will schedule an assessment of repairs needed at your home. Following the assessment, applications selected for repair services will be accepted into one of our core programs:

Rebuilding Days
 
  •  Projects are typically larger in scale, engaging approximately 20 or more volunteers per project to tackle a wide range of repair needs.
Safe @ Home
(S@H)
  • Projects involve smaller-scale, critical health and safety repairs completed by skilled volunteers.
  • Repairs are completed throughout the year.
Emergency Home Repair        
(EHR)
  • Focuses on urgent home repairs for our clients, including repairing or replacing furnaces and hot water heaters that have stopped working.
  • Typical response time of 48 hours.
  • Repairs are completed throughout the year.

Consideration is given first to households that have not yet received any services from our organization, as well as seniors, persons with disabilities, and families with children who are unable to make their own repairs and who have no able-bodied family members to assist them.

If you feel that you meet our eligibility requirements, please email info@rtcolorado.org to speak with an Intake staff member.
