OUR PROGRAMS

Rebuilding Together South Sound has two programs. Our main program is Rebuilding Day, which takes place on the last weekend in April. We have a Year Round Program that addresses home modification and emergency repairs. We also support the national office in their Veteran's Initiaitives (Heroes at Home).

To qualify, an applicant must be a homeowner who is elderly, disabled and/or a family with children living in Pierce County, Auburn or Federal Way with a monthly household income of %50 median income or below. Please see more about income requirements here.

Rebuilding Day

All year we prepare to address the repair needs of our applicants. We visit qualified homes and start planning for the work day in April when all the repairs including plumbing repairs, bathroom repairs and other work is done. Our House Captains work with builders to plan the work that will be done, what materials are required, and who will work on the team. To qualify for Rebuilding Day you must own your home, be low-income, reside in our service area (Pierce County, Federal Way, Auburn) and be elderly, disabled or a family with children.

On Rebuilding Day everyone comes together. The homeowner and the crew roll up their sleeves and get to work! A large crew and a full day can transform a home.

To qualify for Rebuilding Day you must own your home, be low-income, reside in our service area (Pierce County, Federal Way, Auburn) and be elderly, disabled or a family with children.

Year Round

Our Year Round program includes home modification and emergency repairs.

Home modification is adaptation to the living environment intended to increase ease of use, safety, security and independence. Some examples of modifications are walk-in showers, grab bars, comfort toilets, wheelchair ramps and widened doorways to give added safety and mobility in the home and easier access to the community. These construction projects may require many steps and may not be accomplished in a day.

Emergency repairs are repairs that address leaking roofs, leaking plumbing, or loss of heat. Emergency repairs are considered on a case by case basis.

To qualify for the Year Round Program you must own your home, be low-income, reside in our service area (Pierce County, Federal Way, Auburn) and be elderly or a person with a disability. Applications for the Year Round Program are accepted at any time.
