What is Rebuilding Together?2018-05-14T03:41:11-04:00

Rebuilding Together (formerly Christmas in April) is a leading national nonprofit in safe and healthy housing with more than 40 years of experience. Together, with our corporate and community partners, we transform the lives of low-income homeowners by improving the safety and health of their homes and revitalizing our communities.

Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade (RTMD) is one of 130+ affiliates in the Rebuilding Together Network. RTMD brings volunteers and communities together to preserve affordable home-ownership and revitalize communities. This is accomplished through extensive rebuilds addressing critical home repairs for low-income senior citizens, veterans, and disabled homeowners, free of charge

Why are Rebuilding Together’s services needed?2018-04-16T04:07:06-04:00

Sometimes, our neighbors fall on hard times and become physically or financially unable to care for or repair their homes. At Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade, we believe no homeowner should have to forgo food or medications in order to afford home repairs. With help from hundreds of skilled and unskilled volunteers, we provide the skills and resources to make homes safe and healthy.
How are homes selected?2018-05-14T03:43:02-04:00

Homeowners must submit a completed homeowner application and financial information for review and approval by the Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade staff. Once a homeowner application is approved, our project manager conducts a site visit to assess the home for necessary repairs. If both the homeowner and the home qualify for repairs, they then go onto our waiting list until RTMD has adequate funding to complete their project.
