​HOW TO APPLY

Thank you for your interest in Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte. We seek a safe and healthy home for every person in the Charlotte area by providing critical home repairs free of charge to selected homeowners through the Safe at Home Program, the Building a Healthy Neighborhood Program, and the Essential Single-Family Rehabilitation Program. Homeowners are selected based on qualifying criteria, types of repairs needed, and the ability and availability of our volunteers and contractors to complete the needed work. Please review the eligibility information below before applying. Submitting an application or meeting the general eligibility requirements for our programs does not guarantee that repairs will be provided.

General Eligibility Requirements

• You must be current on property taxes and mortgage payments or on a documented payment plan.
• You must have an active homeowner’s insurance policy or must agree to obtain one as soon as repairs are completed.
  
  

Program Specific Requirements
