Our Initiatives
Safe & Healthy Housing
-
Our year-round program provides free home safety modifications and repairs to create safe, accessible housing.
-
Using a HUD-developed 25‑point checklist, we assess each home, identify hazards, and define the work Rebuilding Together Fox Valley can complete.
-
When needs fall outside our abilities, we offer homeowners a list of additional funding sources for further support.
Fall Prevention
-
Falls among older adults are the leading cause of death in Wisconsin, and the number of adults turning 65 will multiply exponentially over the coming decades.
-
The Fall Prevention initiative installs grab bars, adds night lights, installs handrails, and provides tub-transfer benches to help older adults age in place in homes they own.
National Rebuilding Day (NRD)
National Rebuilding Day is our largest impact event, bringing together nearly 200 volunteers each year to make hundreds of modifications and repairs. Businesses and community groups sponsor and provide volunteers to complete projects ensuring health and safety remains a priority.
Individual Projects
-
Businesses, volunteer groups, or faith-based organizations sponsor a project with Rebuilding Together Fox Valley throughout the year,
-
This creates the opportunity to complete home modifications and repairs as a way to give back to the community while building team cohesion.
Community [Re]vitalization
-
Community [Re]vitalization gives local non-profit community organizations the opportunity to apply for modification and repair services through Rebuilding Together Fox Valley.
-
The initiative aims to cultivate the spirit of volunteerism and community support
-
It is dedicated not only to the improvement of individual lives but also to the improvement of the quality of life for all in the Fox Valley.
