Home improvements can get boosts through Rebuilding Together

Rebuilding Together Minnesota is accepting applications for a variety of home improvement projects for low-income residents in specific communities throughout the state.

Rebuilding Together’s Home Repair Program provides safe and healthy housing repairs, including interior improvements (such as installing flooring, patching and painting), siding, windows and landscaping. It also provides contractor-delivered repair or replacement of essential systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing and roofs that are critical to healthy, livable homes.

The Safe at Home Program provides home safety and fall prevention modifications and ramps for older adults or those living with a disability so they can continue to live safely and independently in their own homes. Modifications for home interiors can include grab bars for bathrooms, handrails for basement and upstairs steps, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and other updates. Dedicated volunteer teams provide ongoing support to design and build quality, tailored wooden ramps to make homes accessible for all.

Home Repair and Safe at Home services are available throughout the counties of Cottonwood, Jackson and Nobles. People interested in applying for these no-cost modifications may receive more information and download applications at https://rtmn.org/apply-for-help, or call the office at (651) 776-4273 to request an application by email.
