Rebuilding Together of the Triangle

Our Mission
Rebuilding Together of the Triangle seeks to make a sustainable impact on preserving and revitalizing homes and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, from the elderly and disabled to families with children, live in warmth, safety, and independence.

We bring together corporate donations and grants with volunteers to make critical improvements to low-income homeowners in Wake, Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.

If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our volunteer registration and click on 'Volunteer Application' at: http://rebuildingtogethertriangle.org/GetInvolved.html

Registration is simple, and will allow us to keep you informed of upcoming projects in your area.

Our Challenge
According to data compiled by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, thousands of homeowners in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill metropolitan area live in housing that is substandard or deteriorating. Typically such families suffer from the combined difficulties of physical disability (often from old age) and poverty, leaving them unable to maintain their homes.

Many homeowners experience difficulty going outside their homes because of disability and some are likely to face housing problems because they are disabled and poor. For a senior citizen living on a fixed income from social security, sometimes the choice comes down to whether to eat or to pay for needed repairs. Essential maintenance and repairs are left unaddressed.

Each governmental entity in our service area does provide a limited amount of funding to address these housing needs, most of which is pass-through money from federal agencies. But the funding doesn't’t come close to matching the need. As a consequence, many low-income homeowners seeking help from government sources face either extremely long waiting lists or simply don’t get the help they need.
