Homeowners

Rebuilding Together Cleveland’s Rebuilding Day is an annual effort to repair homes owned by low-income, elderly and disabled members of our community. With the help of volunteers, all work is completed in a one-day blitz. RTC seeks homeowners who cannot physically or financially maintain their home themselves and do not have available able-bodied family members who can maintain their home.

Homeowners by meet the RTC Eligibility Criteria* which include:

• Owner-occupied properties with no rental income;
• Single-family structure in good condition. No multiple family units; and
• Homes must be located within a five-mile radius of downtown Cleveland.

Upon receipt of an application, representatives from Rebuilding Together Cleveland will contact the homeowner to begin the evaluation process. Applications are accepted year round. Due to limited funding, not all homes will be selected for Event Day. Applications are held for a period of three years after receipt.
