Rebuilding Together's
mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and
communities, assuring that low-income
homeowners, from the elderly and disabled to
families with children, live in warmth, safety,
and independence. In partnership with
communities, our goal is to make a sustainable
impact.
2006 sponsors
made it possible for projects to be completed in
two homes in the Billings area.
-
A family in which both
the husband and daughter are disabled received
electrical upgrades, new hot water heater,
furnace and installation of central air
conditioning for their south side home. Other
work targeted improving accessibility and
functionality of the home for their specific
physical needs and general maintenance.
-
A 79 year old widow
received a make-over to her Lockwood home of 49
years. Improvements featured new siding,
insulation, windows, doors, interior paint,
flooring, furnace, updating the electrical
system and a new deck and porch. A hazardous
garage was removed from the property.
In 2005, five Homeowners in Yellowstone County
had their homes refurbished by volunteers on Saturday, September
10, 2005. These homeowners include:
·
A
77 year old woman living in the Laurel area
·
A
couple with two small children
·
A
single disabled homeowner
·
A
single mother with two young daughters living in
the Heights.
·
An
elderly woman who has lived in her home for 36
years.
Rebuilding Together
is the nation's largest
volunteer organization preserving
and revitalizing low-income houses
and communities.
