Application Review and Project Selection 

​

Once your application is received, it is reviewed by the Tri-County Housing Committee. If your household meets the qualification criteria and the repairs are within the scope of our volunteer capabilities, we schedule a site visit with the homeowner(s).  Final selections are made by the Housing Committee.

 

Projects selected are typically completed during Rebuilding Together's National Rebuilding Month in April.  Additional projects may be selected and scheduled for other times during the year.
