Rebuilding Broward Together

How are Homeowners selected?

Homeowners must be low-income and elderly, disabled, or families with children and unable to do the work themselves. Individual families can be referred through neighborhood associations, churches, synagogues, community organizations and service groups, or by self-referral.

Do Homeowners pay?

All repairs are free for homeowners. Labor and many supplies are typically donated. Homeowners and family members are asked to welcome the volunteers into their homes and work alongside them to the extent possible. Our work is done with families and neighborhoods, not for them.

• Homeowner or direct family member must reside in the home
• Reside in Broward County
