Hundreds of RTSNV volunteers improved the homes of low-income homeowners through maintenance work, including exterior painting and repairs, xeriscaping, property clean up and debris removal. Las Vegas City Councilman Bob Coffin also stopped by a home in Las Vegas to greet the volunteers and meet the homeowner.

RTSNV provides repairs at no cost to homeowners who, often faced with diminishing resources, must choose food and medicine over costly home repairs. If gone unfixed, critical repairs, including broken HVAC units, crumbling foundations and damaged roofs, can lead to dangerous or unsafe living conditions.
