RTDCA improves the homes of residents facing economic challenges, ensuring they can live in safe and healthy environments. Many of the neighbors it serves – elderly residents, individuals with disabilities, and households with lower incomes – lack the resources to address critical home repairs, turning emergency needs like bathroom leaks and handrails into much larger problems. RTDCA provides these repairs and renovations at no cost, and additionally tailors accessibility modifications to each household’s unique requirements. Known for its rapid response, it activates skilled volunteers and resources to fix safety hazards as quickly as possible, completing over 1,000 home repairs a year. Longer-term, RTDCA also renovates schools, parks, and other shared spaces in under-served neighborhoods, strengthening a sense of community. Its impact is both swift and lasting – building a thriving place that everyone can call home.
