If you own a home in Anderson, Greenville, Pickens, or Oconee County and need repairs but are not physically able or cannot afford it, Rebuild Upstate may be able to help.
Our home repair application is temporarily closed while our team makes program management updates.
Please rest assured that during this period, repairs will continue as planned for those who have already been approved for our services. Our commitment to those in need remains unwavering, and we will ensure that all approved repairs are completed as scheduled.
To learn more, read a letter from our CEO.
We expect the new application to be available online in early 2025. To request notification when the new application is available, please submit this contact form. Notifications with a link to the new application will be emailed. The application will also be accessible via rebuildupstate.org.
Apply for Help — For Yourself or Someone You Know
We bring the supplies, tools, and volunteers. All you need to do is follow the steps below. If you are not the homeowner but know someone who needs help, you can also fill out the application for them by following the same steps.
Our application is temporarily closed while we improve the application process. We anticipate it to re-open in early 2025. To request notification when the new application is available, please submit this contact form. Notifications with a link to the new application will be emailed. The application will also be accessible via rebuildupstate.org.
We do not operate on a first come, first served basis. Instead, we try our best to help homeowners with the most need.
Once we get your application, we will review it and decide where you fall on a priority list. Some things we look at are:
We also have to look at how many volunteers we have and if there is enough funding for the project.
Once we finish looking at your application, we put you on our waiting list for home repairs. You stay on this list until we can do the repairs.
We know it can be hard, but please try to wait patiently for us to reach out to you.
Please do not contact us to find out if we’ve seen your application. Calling or emailing us to ask these things will slow down the process for you and other people in need. After you fill out an application, please only contact Rebuild Upstate if there is a change in your information (income, number of people in your home, phone number, etc.).
It depends. Some homes are repaired within months. Other homes may have to wait years to be helped or might not ever get help. We work really hard to help as many people as we can each year. Like many organizations, our resources are limited and we regret that we cannot serve all homes that have a need.
Please note that Rebuild Upstate will not share information about any home’s status on our waiting list.
Unfortunately, we cannot help unless the home is located in one of the above counties. Please seek alternatives such as calling 2-1-1 (a national help line for connecting people to human and social services including housing assistance).
