Our History
Rebuilding Together started with the simple act of neighbors helping neighbors.
In 1973, a small group of people in Midland, Texas realized a growing need in their community. Homes in their community had fallen into disrepair and their neighbors could not afford to fix them on their own. The group volunteered their time and skills to rehabilitate the homes of their neighbors. Realizing the potential impact of this work, the group formed Christmas in April with the intent of performing repair and rehabilitation work in their community every April.
News of the group’s good work spread slowly, but eventually achieved national recognition. The mission spread beyond the idea of providing service once a year in April to bringing together partners from all walks of life to help our neighbors year-round. We opened the national office in 1988 and became Rebuilding Together.
Since its founding in 1992, Rebuilding Together Atlanta (RTA) has provided repair and modification services to more than 1,000 homes benefiting low-income homeowners in Metro Atlanta. In 2022, Rebuilding Together Atlanta partnered with more than 25 organizations, businesses, and corporations to complete 36 homes and 8 community revitalization projects across the Atlanta metropolitan area. Additionally, we disseminated 25 "Safe at Home" Kits to vulnerable senior homeowners.
Last year, we served more than 600 people, repaired over 35 homes, and eliminated more than 200 home health and safety hazards. Five-hundred (500) individuals donated over 3,000 hours of service to support those in need. Because of our work, more than $420,000 was invested in communities in need throughout Metro Atlanta.
Today, Rebuilding Together HAS BECOME a premier
nonprofit community revitalization organization.
