How Homeowners Are Selected
Homeowners must be low-income elderly, disabled, military veterans or families
with children and unable to do the work themselves and must meet our low-income
guidelines. Homeowners must own their home and the property on which it is
located. At the time Rebuilding Together Oakland County does the work, a
homeowners insurance policy must be in effect and property taxes current. Due
to the availability of building supplies and scope of special work, mobile homes
do not qualify for this program.
Your income
information must be supported by your federal and state income tax returns.
Please submit one copy of your past year�s federal and state tax returns,
including all schedules and forms. If you no longer file, include your social
security statement. In addition we need confirmation that you are current on
your mortgage payments and have an active homeowner insurance policy.
These are
preliminary guidelines only, and the potential recipient must complete a
Homeowners Application form and provide
verification of income, ownership, homeowners insurance and current mortgage
statement prior to approval. All information provided will be held in the
strictest confidence.
Do Homeowners Pay?
All repairs are free for homeowners, and labor and many supplies are typically
donated. Homeowners and family members are asked to welcome the volunteers into
their homes and work alongside them to the extent possible. Our work is done
with families and neighborhoods not for them.
Homeowners need to
understand that if their home is sold within a twenty-four (24) month period
after Rebuilding Together Oakland County makes repairs, RTOC may recover the
cost of involved in rehabilitating the home. Recovery of costs may be waived by
the Board of Directors of Rebuilding Together Oakland County in whole or in part
due to extenuating circumstances that make it impossible for the homeowner to
remain in the home.
