Special thanks to our partners
Through their support and collaboration, we are capable of providing and facilitating comprehensive care to low-income homeowners and their families.
Our History
Founded in 1993, with the support of The Master Builders Association of Western Pennsylvania and the Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters, Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh (RTP) has spent the last 32 years working to transform the lives of homeowners in need and the communities they call home.
Since its founding, RTP has grown into a nonprofit organization with an annual budget of more than $6 million that supports the work of 20 staff, dozens of professional sub-contractors, and more than 1,000 volunteers who work to complete more than 100 physical rehabilitation projects annually for low-income homeowners in Allegheny County.
Our Vision
Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh rebuilds homes for low-income individuals with an emphasis on seniors, veterans, and persons with disabilities. The lasting impact of our work is homeowners living safe and healthy lives in stabilized, revitalized neighborhoods. Through our home repair work, case management, and partnerships with valued service agencies throughout Allegheny County, we improve the daily quality of life for our neighbors in need.
Our construction professionals provide qualifying individuals with home rehabilitations, energy efficiency upgrades, and safe and healthy housing improvements at no cost to the homeowner. In the short-term, our work allows homeowners to live safely, without tripping or fall hazards, without environmental hazards, and without pests and contaminants. Safe and healthy homes are also clean, well-maintained, and free from fire or mold hazards. In the long-term, we strengthen the living conditions and well-being of at-risk homeowners, empowering them to thrive with greater health, safety, and peace of mind.
The power of our work lies in strong partnerships—with communities, with funders, with volunteers, with trained subcontractors, and with individual homeowners. Together, we can improve communities, one safe and healthy home at a time.

RTP + Equity
Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh exists to help low-income homeowners maintain and keep their homes. We recognize that performing this work means confronting the many social, economic, and health inequities that have been levied on communities of color from decades of discriminatory development methods, redlining, and vast displacement practices.
