Rebuilding Together St. Louis is committed to helping older adults age in place!

Every year Rebuilding Together St. Louis provides free home repairs to approximately 100 homeowners.  Here's a summary of what we accomplished in our most recent fiscal year.

In their own words, here's what homeowners tell us about their experiences with Rebuilding Together St. Louis:

"I couldn't get in and out of the bath tub at all; I had to have someone help me. Now, I just have to have someone in there just in case. It increased my confidence, I'm not as nervous in my bathroom anymore."

"You put a bunch of smoke detectors in and that will be a warning to get me and my dog out of the house if something comes."

"I couldn't go in and out of my door, and you all put up a rail so I can get in and out, so I can help myself and don't have to fall getting out. If I go to the store then I can hold onto it to get back in. It has been wonderful!"
