Once we receive your completed application, our staff will schedule an assessment of repairs needed at your home. Following the assessment, eligible homeowners are selected for repair services through one or more of the following programs: 

Rebuilding Days 
  

  •  Projects are typically larger in scale, engaging approximately 10 to 20 volunteers per project to tackle a wide range of repair needs. 

Safe @ Home 
(S@H) 

  • Projects involve smaller-scale, critical health and safety repairs completed by skilled volunteers. 

  • Repairs are completed throughout the year. 

Emergency Home Repair         
(EHR) 

  • Focuses on urgent home repairs for our clients, including repairing or replacing furnaces and hot water heaters that have stopped working. 

  • Typical response time of 48 hours. 

  • Repairs are completed throughout the year. 
 
   
   

Consideration is given first to households that have not yet received any services from our organization, as well as seniors, persons with disabilities, veterans and families with children who are unable to make their own repairs and who have no able-bodied family members to assist them.

Income Eligibility

To determine if you are income eligible, add up all the income sources for every adult living in your home before taxes, health insurance, garnishments, or other deductions are taken out. Compare that amount to the table below for your household size. Your income is eligible if your total gross household income is below the amount for your household size.

What does gross household income mean?

  • Total income (from all household members ages 18 and over living in your house, including any renters) before taxes and deductions, like health insurance premiums, are taken out. 
  • Every source of income including salaries, pensions/annuities, income/dividends, SSI/SSDI, and rent payments, even if the income source is non-taxable (VA Pension).
  • Adults receiving no income will need to complete a Declaration of Zero Income. If this applies to anyone in your home, please download the Delcaration of Zero Income form to include with your application.

What Repairs Will Be Considered?

Priority repairs have a direct benefit to the health and safety of your household. Following are examples of common projects:

  • Install modular ramps and/or stairlifts
  • Replace hot water heaters
  • Repair minor to moderate plumbing leaks
  • Repair/replace broken windows, doors, and locks
  • Repair/replace heating system
  • Repair minor electrical hazards
  • Install grab bars, handheld shower wands

Other projects may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please call us with questions about specifics or include information in your application. 

Rebuilding Together Colorado is limited in the type of work we can complete based on funding and volunteer availability. Large projects like roofing, painting, or major landscaping are primarily considered for our Rebuilding Days program.

Rebuilding Together Colorado does not do structural repairs such as foundations, framing, new construction, or room additions. We also may not be able to work on projects that include repairing work that was done without proper permits.
