More than 150 volunteers worked together in Hallandale Beach as part of Rebuilding Together Broward's 12th Anniversary National Rebuilding Day.
"Today is the day that we recognize the importance of our elderly and veteran population and their need for safe housing," said Sandra Einhorn, the organization's executive director.
The group is the local affiliate of Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit organization that works to improve the lives of low-income homeowners. The volunteers, who donate construction materials, time and a variety of skills, focus on making urgent home repairs, installing home safety upgrades and completing neighborhood improvement projects.
This time, the organization focused on repairing 15 homes in Hallandale Beach.
"I told them that they needed to come to our city," Mayor Joy Cooper said. "There's a lot of elderly here, so I was very excited."
One of the homes volunteers worked on belongs to 89-year-old Navy veteran Floyd Knowles.
