Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh

Together we transform the lives of low-income homeowners by improving the safety and health of their homes and revitalizing their communities.

At Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh, we believe everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy home. That is why we provide a FREE service for homeowners living in houses that need repairs and/or accessibility modifications. We are committed to providing low-income homeowners-primarily seniors, veterans, or people with disabilities-with critical repairs that make their home safer and healthier. Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh and over 25,500 volunteers have completed nearly 2,300 rebuild projects in Allegheny County.

Core Home Repair-The majority of our work consists of repairing dangerous health and safety hazards that the homeowners are unable to mitigate on their own.

Rehab-for-Resale-We also completely renovate abandoned properties,
thereby reducing neighborhood blight and providing an avenue for low- to
moderate-income families to become homeowners.

Jobs First-A select number of community residents are paid for up to 500
hours of working in the field with us. Each participant obtains resume building
work experience while making a positive contribution in their own
community.

easier. I can take a bath. My backyard is better, my front steps are safer,
and I don't fall down like I used to." Bernice
