About Rebuilding Together Dayton

  • Rebuilding Together Dayton, a non-profit volunteer organization founded in 1996 by Preservation Dayton, Inc., has repaired over 250 homes in neighborhoods all across the city since its inception.

  • The organization’s mission is to build community partnerships and provide home rehabilitation for low-income Dayton homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so they may live in warmth, safety and independence.

  • Rebuilding Together Dayton is the only organization in the Miami Valley dedicated to rehabbing owner-occupied homes for low-income homeowners at no cost.

  • Through in-kind labor and donated materials, Rebuilding Together Dayton is able to expand every dollar raised into $4.

  • On April 28, 2007, approximately 1,200 Rebuilding Together Dayton volunteers worked on 26 homes across the City of Dayton, providing $250,000 worth of home improvements.

  • Rebuilding Together Dayton selects projects from nominations by neighborhood groups, churches, neighborhood development corporations, city housing inspectors, priority boards and individuals.

  • Applicants must own their own homes in the City of Dayton and have a combined household income of less than 80% of the area median income. Preference is given to homeowners who are elderly and/or disabled and have lived in their homes for a minimum of 10 years.

  • Rebuilding Together Dayton also offers Neighbor•Care, a year-round, county-wide home repair program. Neighbor●Care provides the services of skilled trades people who perform urgent home repairs and home modifications, such as wheelchair ramps and handrails.

  • Rebuilding Together Dayton is governed by a 22-member volunteer Board of Directors and is staffed by an executive director and program director.

  • The local group is part of the national Rebuilding Together organization that has 250 affiliates in 50 states. There are five other Rebuilding Together affiliates in Ohio.

  • The organization was first know as Christmas in April®, which began in Midland, Texas in 1973 when a group of volunteers decided to devote one day a year to repairing dilapidated homes in their community. The project developed into the nation’s leading volunteer home repair organization
