HOW WE HELP
Safe and Healthy Housing
Safe and healthy housing is crucial in protecting vulnerable individuals and families in Fremont, NE, from harmful exposure to various health and safety hazards. Organizations like Rebuilding Together Platte Valley East play a vital role in making significant contributions to health by reducing exposure to allergens, chemicals, molds, and moisture. By ensuring safe housing, we help prevent falls, fires, and other home accidents. Furthermore, safe and healthy housing promotes a sense of security and control, offering numerous economic benefits to neighborhoods and communities as we build together.
Modular Ramp Program
Rebuilding Together Platte Valley East's handicap ramp program significantly aids clients in Fremont, NE, by providing safe access to their homes. This initiative enhances wheelchair accessibility and promotes safe home entry and exit. The installation of ramps not only bolsters mental and physical health by restoring independence but also encourages outdoor enjoyment and strengthens social connections with friends and neighbors. Each ramp installation fosters volunteerism and community pride, as neighbors unite to support independence and dignity. We build together to install and maintain ramps at the homes of qualified individuals and ensure they are reused when no longer needed, maximizing impact and extending community support.
Critical Home Repairs
Critical home repairs may include: roof replacement or repair, replacement of weak or unsafe floors and porches, bathroom and kitchen repairs that enhance safety measures, critical plumbing and electrical repairs, and many other situations that may result in unsafe living conditions. These essential repairs are often assessed using a 25-point health and safety checklist, developed through the collaboration of Rebuilding Together and the National Center for Safe and Healthy Housing, as part of our mission when we build together.
