About Us
Who We Are
In 2024, Rebuilding Together connected with a group of local leaders on the Peninsula to share a vision and a solution for our neighbors needing home repairs, accessibility modifications, and community revitalization. A group of dedicated community members saw this vision and said ‘yes’. We came together as a steering committee to start Rebuilding Together of Hampton Roads in order to provide no-cost home repairs to the over 500,000 residents who are cost-burdened in Hampton Roads with little left to spend on keeping their home safe and healthy.
We will file for our 501c3 status by year-end of 2024. Beginning in 2025, we will serve the neighborhoods of Hampton and Newport News with plans to expand to the full Hampton Roads area. Our team is committed to filling gaps in services in the area to ensure safer and healthier homes and vibrant communities for all.
Our Mission
Repairing homes, revitalizing communities, rebuilding lives.
Our Vision
Safe homes and communities for everyone.
Our framework
Safe and Healthy Housing
Safe and Healthy Housing is the foundation of Rebuilding Together’s home repair work, targeting significant safety and health hazards based on the Eight Principles of Healthy Homes — keep it dry, clean, pest-free, safe, contaminant-free, well-ventilated, maintained and thermally controlled.
Community Revitalization Partnerships
A Community Revitalization Partnership occurs when a Rebuilding Together affiliate aligns with community development goals established by residents and other stakeholders — and the groups work together toward a coordinated approach to support the community’s aspirations.
