GETTING HELP
Rebuilding Together Thurston County assists homeowners in two ways. Our Safe At Home Program addresses home modifications for accessibility and safety, such as installing ramps, handrails, and grab bars, and emergency repairs that are needed to maintain basic living conditions, such as running water and a working toilet.
We hold Rebuilding Day in May, which takes place annually on the first Saturday. It's our biggest one-day rebuilding event and focuses on more complex needs. Typical work done includes repairing unsafe flooring, patching siding, or replacing damaged windows and doors.
