Common Health and Safety Repair Costs
What Does $10 Provide?
$10 Caulk a Tub or Shower surround to fill cracks and prevent water from leaving the tub or shower. Water infiltration can lead to costly structural damage and mold growth. Mold produces allergens, irritants, and sometimes toxins that can have adverse health effects on humans, especially in those with upper respiratory issues. Infectious diseases from molds can occur in those who are immune compromised/suppressed.
What Does $20 Provide?
$20 Furnish a Fire Extinguisher, a small but important part of a comprehensive home fire safety plan. Fire extinguishers can help save lives and protect property by putting out small fires before fire fighters arrive. Older adults have a 2.7 times greater risk of experiencing fatal injuries from a fire relative to the rest of the population.
What Does $30 Provide?
$30 Install Grab Bars in a bathroom to prevent slips and falls in the tub or shower. Approximately 3 million older adults are hospitalized for their injuries from slips and falls each year, many of which are preventable with proper safety measures, like installing grab bars.
What Does $50 Provide?
$50 Provides a New Front Door Lockset with lever handle to help improve the home’s security and ease of use for older adults. A doorknob requires a tight grasp and the ability to twist, a lever only requires the user to push down or apply some pressure to open the door.
What Does $75 Provide?
$75 Install CO Detectors on every level to alert residents to unsafe levels of carbon monoxide in the home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, disorientation, confusion, and even death. CO poisoning is entirely preventable, but 50,000 Americans still visit a hospital each year to treat its effects.
What Does $100 Provide?
$100 Install a Glass Block Window in a basement. Glass block windows eliminate the risk of air leakages and enhance heat control. Along with their energy efficiency advantages, they offer greater security.
What Does $250 Provide?
$250 Clean and Tune a Furnace with a certified inspection to ensure that it is operating safely and efficiently. A furnace can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide if not properly maintained.
What Does $500 Provide?
$500 Remove Carpet and Install Vinyl Plank Flooring in one room, increasing mobility and accessibility for wheelchairs and older and disabled adults who may need to use mobility devices to navigate through the home. Old carpet can also contain harmful chemicals banned from more recent production, and trap harmful allergens and toxins that can cause serious respiratory issues.
What Does $1,000 Provide?
$1000 Install a New Hot Water Heater to help keep our neighbors warm and safe during cold Pittsburgh winters! Hot water heaters are recommended to be replaced every 10 years and remain a significant expense for many low-income homeowners. Newer hot water heaters also provide higher levels of efficiency, resulting in lower utility costs.

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.
