Rebuilding Together fills a pressing need in our communities. The rising cost of living and falling social service budgets have left some of our most vulnerable neighbors without the most basic of necessities, a warm, safe, and dry home.
The nation is facing enormous problems, many of which have reached crisis levels. The low-income homeowners that Rebuilding Together serves are disproportionately affected by these issues. Homeownership is at an all-time high, especially among low to mid-income Americans, but the costs of owning and maintaining a home are growing exponentially. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing, leaving low-income citizens with less and less disposable income for home repairs and modifications.
Rebuilding Together focuses on the issues of home maintenance and homeownership for the elderly, the disabled, and veterans. By identifying the challenges associated with these issues we are well placed to face a problem with full understanding and to create real, sustainable solutions for the low-income homeowners we serve.

MISSION: REPAIRING HOMES, REVITALIZING COMMUNITIES AND REBUILDING LIVES
VISION: SAFE HOMES AND COMMUNITIES FOR EVERYONE
MISSION
Bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners with a focus on veterans, seniors and/or disabled homeowners. As a local nonprofit organization, we assist low-income homeowners with home rehabilitation projects, installation of smoke/CO alarms at mobile home parks and a food pantry. In addition, Rebuilding Together Solano County (RTSC) also partners with local companies to rehab community facilities. During a RTSC project, local businesses, community members and concerned residents come together from all walks of life to rehabilitate the homes and lives of those in need in Solano County. This is accomplished with volunteer skilled and unskilled labor, donated materials/services and financial support from within Solano County.
