MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN AURORA
Take a look at the programs we offer to help homeowners in need.
“The homeowners’ expressions of appreciation – for doing so much that they cannot do and will not get done – is engrained in you the rest of your life.”
Community Block Build
The Community Block Build takes a house-by-house approach to improving the health and well being of low-income households in a focused area of high need. Volunteers from the community and the professional trades donate their time to help homeowners in need of critical home repairs. Together, we complete handicap accessibility modifications, plumbing/electrical work, energy efficiency upgrades, landscaping and painting to transform a neighborhood. It's a major rebuilding blitz culminating on National Rebuilding Day on Saturday.
Safe at Home
The Safe At Home Program provides a unique and necessary service for Aurora seniors and persons with disabilities to improve access throughout their home and reduce the risk of falls and in-home injuries. Our goals are to prevent falls and improve accessibility, general safety, and health/fire safety and prevention.
Some of the approved repairs for the Safe at Home program include:
Hand railings
Grab bars
Accessibility ramps
Broken/weak steps
Walk-in shower
ADA accessible doorways
Lever door knobs
Additional lighting
Dead bolts & locks
And more! Check out our application for a complete list of repairs for this program.
“Working with RTA has changed my life. I have involved very close friends to be a part of this organization and a day does not pass that I do not speak about RTA and what we are doing for those less fortunate.”
“Every RTA team member and volunteer demonstrates the commitment to helping improve our community and the lives of people in need.”
Special Day of Service
We provide opportunities throughout the year for organizations and groups to schedule a unique volunteer experience serving seniors, veterans, children and persons with disabilities. Consider planning a corporate event with Rebuilding Together Aurora. Submit you group interest form today to get your group involved in your own special day of service.
