Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE MISSION OF REBUILDING TOGETHER TWIN CITIES IS TO BRING VOLUNTEERS AND COMMUNITIES TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THE HOMES AND LIVES OF LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS. THIS SERVICE ENSURES THAT THESE HOMEOWNERS - PARTICULARLY OLDER ADULTS, INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH A DISABILITY AND FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN - CAN LIVE INDEPENDENTLY IN HOMES THAT ARE SAFE AND WARM.
ANY SIGNIFICANT NEW PROGRAM SERVICES NOT LISTED ON A PRIOR RETURN
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2
RTTC INITIATED A "RAMP AND STEP" PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES ACCESSIBILITY DEVICES THAT ALLOW LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS LIVING WITH A DISABILITY TO GET IN AND OUT OF THEIR HOMES SAFELY. RAMPS AND STEPS ARE INSTALLED BY A TEAM OF SKILLED VOLUNTEERS THAT HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY TRAINED TO DESIGN AND BUILD THEM. THESE PROJECTS HELP HOMEOWNERS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES STAY IN THEIR HOMES SAFELY AND INDEPENDENTLY AND GREATLY REDUCES THE RISK FOR FALLS AND INJURY. APPLICATIONS ARE CONSIDERED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS; AND ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM IS CONTINGENT ON THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. THE MAJORITY OF RAMPS AND STEPS ON HOMES SELECTED UNDER THIS PROGRAM TAKE PLACE DURING OUR SPRING AND FALL REBUILDING SEASONS. ACCESSIBILITY MODIFICATIONS DONE IN THIS PROGRAM ARE MODULAR AND REUSABLE, SO WE ASK THAT RAMPS AND STEPS BE RETURNED BY THE HOMEOWNER IF FOR ANY REASON THEY ARE NO LONGER OF USE SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY BENEFIT FROM THEM. AFTER INSTALLATION, RAMPS AND STEPS ARE MAINTAINED BY VOLUNTEERS ANNUALLY OR AS NEEDED. CURRENTLY, THE PROGRAM IS AT A CAPACITY THAT ALLOWS VOLUNTEERS TO BUILD 4-5 RAMPS OR STEPS EVERY YEAR.

THE WORK IS PERFORMED BY TEAMS OF VOLUNTEERS AND FOCUSES ON CREATING SAFE AND WELCOMING SPACES FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO GATHER. RAMP ACCESSIBILITY: REBUILDING TOGETHER TWIN CITIES' RAMP ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAM UTILIZES TEAMS OF VOLUNTEERS TO DESIGN, BUILD AND INSTALL WHEELCHAIR RAMPS FOR HOMEOWNERS IN NEED WHO ARE LIVING WITH A DISABILITY.

SIX OF THE HOUSEHOLDS WERE MILITARY FAMILIES; AND 10 HAD CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WHO LIVED THERE FOR A TOTAL OF 21 CHILDREN.
