Rebuilding Together Aurora is a safe and healthy housing organization that provides homeowners in need with critical home repairs, home safety modifications, and energy efficiency upgrades. Rebuilding Together Aurora's work helps to preserve homes and rebuild communities by arming volunteers with hammers, paint brushes, and connecting them with qualified homeowners in need. Our volunteers are committed to making a difference in the neighborhoods they live and work in by helping our neighbors improve their living conditions and lives while engaging in hands-on community development that positively impacts the health and vibrancy of our community.
For 30 years, Rebuilding Together Aurora has provided free critical home repairs for low-income homeowners in Aurora including senior citizens, military veterans, people living with disabilities, and families with young children living in unsafe conditions. We want to connect homeowners with volunteers to unite the community and ensure everyone has a safe and healthy home.
