Repairs improve health, safety, security, and connection.
Through a survey of recipients of Rebuilding Together's work, we have found that repairs improve physical and mental health, increase safety and economic security, and foster independence and community connection.
Community Connection
- Almost 90% of neighbors reported a feeling of pride in their home following repairs.
- 60% of neighbors reported an increased feeling of inclusion within the neighborhood after repairs.
Safety
- The majority of neighbors who had previously (or almost had) fallen did not fall again following repairs.
- 86% of neighbors who had trouble entering and exiting their home found it easier after repairs.
Physical Health
- Over 6 in 10 neighbors either maintained good/excellent health after repairs, or experienced improved health.
- Among neighbors who reported their physical health was “fair” or “poor” before repairs, 33% said their health improved after.
- Half of neighbors said their mental health improved after receiving home repairs.
Economic Security
- Home maintenance costs decreased for 27% of neighbors following repairs.
- Nearly 70% of neighbors who received repairs plan to pass on their property to a family member or friend.
Independence
- Almost 90% of neighbors who were not planning to age in place now consider it very likely following repairs.
- The majority of neighbors who found food preparation very difficult said repairs helped increase their ability.
While anchored by direct home repair, our work spans four areas.
Safe & Healthy Homes
From environmental hazards like mold, lead, and radon to electrical problems and accessibility, RTP deploys programs to address critical needs and improve indoor air quality.
Neighbors
Each homeowner has a unique and inspiring story. We are honored to make a positive difference — improving quality of life and peace of mind for our neighbors and their families.
Communities
We develop deep community partnerships designed to fill gaps and provide essential services above and beyond what we directly offer, expanding our impact on the neighbors most in need.
Volunteers
Since our inception, volunteers have joined us in serving homeowners across Allegheny County — providing direct support to our clients and staff in a variety of ways.
Three target neighborhoods, two to three years each.
In 2026, RTP prioritized work in three target neighborhoods across Allegheny County — typically committing to each for two to three years to stabilize blocks and improve lives.
These impact neighborhoods change frequently as funding changes, so if your neighborhood isn't currently included, check back soon.
