Safe at Home

The Safe at Home Program addresses smaller, but very needed repairs. Repairs are completed in-house by our program staff. When one of these repairs is made, our staff will additionally perform a 25 point Safe and Healthy Priorities assessment on the home. This assessment helps identify any additional needed repairs or installs to return the home to a safe and healthy standard. These repairs include:
  • Ramps
  • Grab bars
  • Smoke detectors
  • Carbon Monoxide detectors
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Bathroom modifications
  • Replacing flooring (when it is a trip and fall hazard)
  • Door repair and installation
  • ADA accessibility modifications
  • Minor structural changes that provide accessibility

NATIONAL REBUILDING DAY & MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY

Our two main volunteer days are National Rebuilding Day in April and Make a Difference Day in October. Community partners adopt a home and have their employees volunteer to perform non-critical repairs on the home. This consists of:

  • Property Clean-up
  • Debris removal
  • Exterior home painting
  • Minor exterior repairs
  • Xeriscaping

Volunteer Days

Neighborhood Revitalization

Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada additionally partners with multiple organizations to perform focused, neighborhood centered revitalizations. We typically organize about one a year. During these revitalization events, our staff, community partners, and volunteers will participate in at least one of these:

  • Community clean-up
  • Nonprofit Facility Rehabilitation
  • Neighborhood education
