Whether you’ve owned a home for years or just moved in, one thing’s certain: no one hands you a manual on how to keep it safe and healthy. Small leaks can become big repairs. Appliances break at the worst possible moment. That broken railing becomes a deck replacement. Even the home you love can start to feel overwhelming.

Nearly 60% of homeowners postpone repairs because of cost, and about 1 in 5 who try DIY fixes end up making the problem worse.

That’s why we created [Re]build & [Re]claim, a free, hands-on workshop series that takes the guesswork out of home maintenance. Guided by skilled instructors, you’ll learn what most people discover the hard (and expensive) way. Whether you own now or plan to buy, you’ll leave with skills you can use immediately.

We’ll teach you to spot problems early, handle simple repairs yourself, and prevent small issues from turning into costly damage. You’ll practice seasonal upkeep, energy-saving improvements, and practical DIY fixes, built on the 8 Principles of a Healthy Home and Rebuilding Together’s 25 Safe and Healthy Priorities. By the end, you’ll know how to protect your home’s value, stay ahead of repairs, and reclaim the confidence and peace of mind that make homeownership feel rewarding again. Think of it as a little R&R for your home.
