| OUR PROGRAMS Rebuilding Together South Sound has two programs. Our main program is Rebuilding Day, which takes place on the last weekend in April. Our second program is a year-round Home Modification program. Rebuilding Day All of our home repairs are completed on or around an annual event, National Rebuilding Day, the last Saturday in April. All year we prepare to address the repair needs of our applicants on this day. We visit qualified homes and start planning for the work day in April when all the repairs are 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. Our amazing volunteers can do all kinds of repairs, from plumbing, electrical, and carpentry, to repairing roofs, windows, and flooring. On Rebuilding Day everyone comes together. The homeowner and the volunteer 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, and Auburn) and be elderly, a person with a disability, or a family with children. Home Modification Home modification is adaptation to the living environment intended to increase ease of use, safety, security and independence. The Home Modification program accepts applications and makes repairs throughout the year. 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. To qualify for the Home Modification 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. |
