Mission: The mission of Rebuilding Together is to bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners. Our goal is to ensure a safe and healthy home for every person. The work done on the homes is free for the homeowner, and done primarily by skilled and unskilled volunteers. Both volunteers and recipients benefit from improving their communities, one house, one non-profit facility, at a time.

Programs: Rebuilding Together is one of the nation's leaders in addressing the housing crisis. Each year, almost 10,000 homes and non-profict facilities are rehabilitated with the help of over a quarter million volunteers. The National Office is committed to using valuable staff time to build strong programs and relationships with national partners and our affiliate network. We coordinate projects, educate and inform internal and external consistencies and publicize their efforts. Further, we offer regional workshops to train and prepare all affiliates. We host an annual conference which acts as a forum for discussion and idea exchanges. The National Office works in partnership with corporate sponsors and affiliates to develop nationwide special-needs programs. Rebuild 1000, our initiative in the Gulf Coast Region, rehabilitates homes devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Serving Those Who Serve, another nationwide initiative, provides cost-free home modifications to severely injured service personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
