The goal of Rebuilding Together*Greater Portland 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 and return it to the address below.

Eligibility requirements include:

• Applicants must own and live in the property where repair work will be done.

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

• The property is not subject to any pending foreclosure actions or actions to enforce liens.

• Persons residing in your home or visiting on the designated workday who are physically able will work alongside the volunteers.

Ineligible homes include:

• Rental properties

• Household income above federal poverty guidelines
   

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.
Volunteers may not be able to complete all requested repairs. If your home is chosen for the rehabilitation work, there will be NO charge for our service.
