About Rebuilding Together - Calcasieu
What we do...



















Our Goals:
Preserve affordable home ownership in our community.
Allow our elderly neighbors to age in place, in the safety and comfort of their own home.
Our Efforts:
Individual families are referred to us through neighborhood associations, churches, synagogues,
community organizations and service groups or by self-referral.
We complete home repairs for low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners at no cost to them.
Non-profit facilities are also eligible for our services.
When we work:
We work throughout the year to rehabilitate homes in Calcasieu Parish. We also take part in National
Rebuilding Day, typically held during the spring months of April and May. Homeowners and
volunteers work side by side to preserve and revitalize the communities in which they live.
Who volunteers:
Anyone can be a Rebuilding Together volunteer! Volunteers come from corporations, places of
worship, civic clubs, social clubs, schools, and universities.
Skilled volunteers (such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and roofers) come from partnerships
with trades associations, home supply retailers, and local trades persons.
Our 2010 Local Impact
• 45 houses and non-profit facilities rehabilitated
• 71 people served
• 426 volunteers donating their time and skills
• Delivering $284,069.47 market value
