The greater Akron community is served by providing a unique resource that is not available from any other agency in Summit County. Although there are emergency home repair programs, and minor home repair programs, none are volunteer based, free to the homeowner, and none provide the depth and breath of service of Rebuilding Together Because the services are free, the type of work and repairs completed are dictated by the needs of the house and homeowner. Rebuilding Together is an integral part of the housing advocacy group in Summit County and provides referral services to other agencies in the community. Rebuilding Together works with other housing professionals to focus on improving existing housing stock.
