Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada Celebrates 25 Years by Revitalizing 21 Homes on National Rebuilding Day, April 27
Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada (RTSNV), the local affiliate of the national nonprofit Rebuilding Together, will celebrate National Rebuilding Day on Saturday, April 27. In celebration of RTSNV’s silver anniversary, 33 teams comprised of approximately 1,000 volunteers will revitalize 21 homes in Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas. The home modifications will be completed at no cost to recipients.
“Our clients often live with limited resources and are forced to choose between food and needed medicine over critical home repairs,” said Bob Cleveland, RTSNV Executive Director. “That’s why National Rebuilding Day is so important to us – it provides us the opportunity to transform the lives of our neighbors in need by relieving them of the costs and concerns related to the everyday health and safety of their homes.”

The homes selected by RTSNV will receive critical repairs as well as maintenance work. Critical repairs include: installation of new plumbing and HVAC systems; roof repair; water heater INSERT ment; ADA modifications such as grab bars, safety rails and other accessibility adjustments; and other major home rehabilitation work. Maintenance work completed by volunteer teams on National Rebuilding Day includes exterior painting, xeriscaping, property clean up, debris removal and other minor repairs.
