Rebuilding Together Oakland:

Rebuilding Together Oakland (RTO) rehabilitates the homes of low-income elderly and disabled homeowners, so they may continue to live in safety, comfort and independence. RTO utilizes the hard work of skilled and unskilled volunteers, and leverages financial and in-kind donations to make these improvements at no cost to the homeowners. RTO also rehabilitates nonprofit facilities that work directly within low-income communities. In 2006, Rebuilding Together Oakland contributions to the local community included rehabilitating 42 homes and 12 non-profit community facilities.
