The goal of Rebuilding Together * Greater Burlington is to improve the comfort and safety of homes owned by the elderly, people with disabilities, and working families who otherwise would not be able to have much-needed home repair work done. If you think we might be able to help you or someone you know, please complete our Homeowner Application.

• Applicants must be able to produce their mortgage payment book, deed, or other documents showing ownership, if requested.

​

Applications are reviewed by our House Selection Committee. Members of our House Selection and/or Rebuilding Day Committees will visit applicant homes to confirm eligibility and assess work that needs to be done. While we complete major renovations- including replacing roofs, upgrading electrical systems, and many other home improvements- we narrow the scope of the work we undertake to what we believe a team of 10-15 skilled and unskilled volunteers can accomplish in a day. Each year more homeowners request our help than we can actually serve. On average, we renovate approximately 15 homes a year. The number of homes we work on is tied directly to the amount of money we can raise during the year.
