Rebuilding Together North Central Florida

What Rebuilding Together North Central Florida does

Rebuilding Together North Central Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 20-3022563) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, that delivers no-cost critical home repair, accessibility modification, and energy efficiency services to low-income homeowners in Alachua County, with a 2024 expansion into Levy County via the Safe at Home pilot. The organization's service model is built on a domain-specific Safe and Healthy Housing practice framework — a 25 Health and Safety Priorities checklist and 360 repair specifications developed jointly with the National Center for Healthy Housing and aligned to the Eight Principles of Healthy Homes — which standardizes in-home assessments, repair prioritization, and outcome reporting across the national Rebuilding Together affiliate network. Service delivery combines volunteer labor, an annual AmeriCorps CapacityCorps member, NCCC teams, and subcontracted trades professionals, with marquee corporate volunteer events such as Building a Healthy Neighborhood and Kickoff to Rebuild anchoring the volunteer pipeline.

The program portfolio covers Critical Home Repair, Emergency Home Repair (originated during the COVID-19 pandemic), Energy Efficiency (partnered with the Community Weatherization Coalition), Safe at Home for residents with disabilities in Levy County, a Rental Program operating the Alachua County Energy Efficiency Program (ACEEP) with up to $15,000 per rental unit in improvements secured via Land Use Restriction Agreements, and the Community Revitalization Partnerships model for neighborhood-level intervention. A dedicated Volunteer Program coordinates rolling open volunteer days focused on exterior home improvement — painting, ramps, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia, and yard cleanup — for small and medium-sized groups.

The financial model is a diversified nonprofit revenue stack. Homeowner-facing services are free to qualifying residents under HUD income guidelines; the organization funds operations through individual tax-deductible donations, corporate sponsorships and CSR partnerships (Lowe's, Publix Super Markets Charities, Duke Energy, TD Charitable Foundation, Truist Foundation, First Federal Bank, EAD Corporation, Guild Mortgage, Adobe, ZenBusiness, and a deep bench of local trades), government grants (Alachua County SHIP Home Repair Program, Alachua County CAPP, City of Gainesville HUD HOME funds), AmeriCorps capacity, United Way of North Central Florida Impact Partner status, and in-kind volunteer labor. Marketing and beneficiary outreach span a website, five social channels, email newsletter, peer-to-peer Facebook fundraisers, Amazon Wishlist donations, and corporate event activations. Leadership is provided by Executive Director RD Bonnaghan, a seven-person program and operations staff, and a board of directors chaired by Mike Jones (Ameris Bank) with David Rountree (UF Alumni Association) as President-Elect.

Others
