Rebuilding Together Dayton

What Rebuilding Together Dayton does

Rebuilding Together Dayton is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1996 that provides free home repairs, accessibility modifications, and community revitalization services to low-income senior homeowners in Montgomery County, Ohio. The organization serves homeowners aged 60+ with incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (average served income under $17,000 annually), addressing hazards such as unsafe furnaces, electrical issues, dangerous plumbing, and inaccessibility through year-round NeighborCare program, seasonal Safe@Home programming, and the annual National Rebuilding Day event. Since inception, the organization has assisted over 1,500 homeowners across 63 neighborhoods and 10 cities, mobilizing nearly 1,000 volunteers each year.

The organization operates a portfolio of programs built on a proprietary 25-point Healthy Homes assessment framework adapted from the National Center for Healthy Housing's Eight Principles. Core programs include NeighborCare (year-round skilled tradesperson repairs), Seasonal Safe@Home (Safety Kits, National Rebuilding Day, Seasonal Revitalization, Heat the Town), [RE]Building a Healthy Neighborhood (minimum two-year commitments in targeted neighborhoods), Community Revitalization Partnerships, and the recently launched Jefferson Township Community Garden. Service delivery relies on a small 8-person staff coordinating 20+ community referral partners, 30+ corporate and in-kind sponsors, and volunteer labor.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than revenue-generating. Services are provided at no cost to homeowners; 92 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to programs. Revenue streams include individual donations, corporate sponsorships (tiered from $5,000 to $50,000), in-kind professional services from local HVAC, roofing, and construction contractors, and government grants (notably $1.8M in 2022 and $1.3M in 2024). The geographic footprint is explicitly restricted to Montgomery County, with no indication of expansion beyond this single-county service area.
