Rebuilding Together Montgomery County (RTMC) was founded in 1990 with a ‘neighbors helping neighbors’ approach of providing free home repairs and accessibility modifications to low-income homeowners in Montgomery County. Many of the homeowners served are seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, single parents, and members of marginalized communities who would not otherwise be able to remain safely and independently at home. Working in partnership with local businesses, organizations, and volunteers, RTMC strives to ensure the right to safe housing for Montgomery County’s most vulnerable residents.
