Introducing the Emergency Repair Program

COVID-19 should not prevent seniors, families with young children, and people with disabilities from accessing the emergency home repairs they need to stay safe in their homes during these unprecedented times.

With generous preliminary funding from Red Ventures, Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte has launched an Emergency Repair Program and is working to secure the additional resources needed to efficiently serve the most vulnerable members of our communities, including help with: 

• Making urgent emergency home repairs 

• Providing critical home repairs and modifications to allow older adults or other at-risk populations to shelter in place safely at home (this could be adding an AC unit to a bedroom, repairing a water heater or modifying a home to prevent falls)

• Performing status checks on seniors and other at-risk clients by phone and helping them access additional resources such as food and medicine 

• Providing home repairs so a moderately ill person can come home from the hospital and quarantine at home, which serves to ease the burden on local hospitals

While most of our rebuild projects are postponed, we are committed to providing emergency repairs for our neighbors in need. Emergency Repair Program (ERP) is open to low-income Mecklenburg County homeowners. Funding is limited.
