Application FAQs
What information will you request in my application?
You will be asked to include information about your total household income, including income from current employment or Social Security and/or pension benefits. You will also be asked to describe the condition of your home, the primary concerns you would like us to address with repairs, and the names, birthdates, race and ethnicity, and income of each resident in the home.
What is the time frame of the application process?
Due to the high volume of applications and the limited availability of funding, application for services is not an automatic process and selection of participants is limited. If your application meets eligibility requirements, you will be contacted by a member of our staff to schedule a walk-through inspection of your home so we can get an idea of what repairs you need.
Note: The waiting time for significant home repairs can be 2+ years.
What if my home does not meet the requirements for Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh's services?
If you don’t currently meet all requirements, we encourage you to apply anyway as circumstances and funding can change while you are waiting for support.
If Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh is unable to serve your home for any reason, we may be able to refer you to other housing agencies in the Pittsburgh area who also provide homeowner services.
