Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh Honored as WQED and Giant Eagle Community Champion
We are thrilled to announce that Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh has been selected as this year's WQED and Giant Eagle Community Champion! This prestigious award recognizes our ongoing commitment to preserving affordable homeownership and revitalizing communities throughout Allegheny County.
WQED produced a video that beautifully captures the heart of our mission. As highlighted in the video, we provide free, critical home repairs for low-income seniors, veterans, and disabled homeowners. Our dedicated volunteers, both skilled and unskilled, are the driving force behind our work, bringing their energy and teamwork to every project. Each year, we are able to make significant repairs to approximately 80+ homes, ensuring our neighbors can continue to live in safety and comfort.
The video also shines a spotlight on our innovative Rehab for Resale (R4R) program. Through this initiative, we acquire and completely renovate dilapidated properties, transforming them into healthy, modern living spaces. These homes are then sold to first-time homebuyers, providing them with a stable foundation for the future.
We are incredibly grateful to WQED and Giant Eagle for this honor and for helping us share our story. We invite you to watch the video to see the impact of our work firsthand and to learn more about the families we serve.
