Rebuilding Together San Francisco provides free repair and renovation programs for low-income, elderly and disabled San Franciscans and for nonprofit and community facilities. Our programs address basic living, life event and quality of life needs of homeowners and the people served by the facilities with which we work. The work we do creates safer environments and makes it possible for people to live independently for a longer time in their own homes.
We have rehabilitated more than 1,000 homes and 250 facilities serving tens of thousands of people.
Our organization was founded in 1989, just prior to the Loma Prieta earthquake. Known then as Christmas in April, the organization was created through the grassroots collaboration of several business, labor and community organizations in San Francisco.
With the support and involvement of businesses and individuals, Rebuilding Together sets in motion a cycle of renewal, community-building and civic engagement. Since 1989, we have rehabilitated more than 1,000 homes and 250 facilities serving tens of thousands of people. Hundreds of civic-minded companies, religious and community groups support the work we do with financial and in-kind resources.
RTSF is a local affiliate of Rebuilding Together, a national organization that includes 95 affiliates serving 500 communities nationwide, and mobilizing thousands of volunteers each year.
