Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: Our 2025 Impact in Fairfax County
“When homes are safe and accessible, residents can remain independent, secure, and connected to the communities they call home.”
At Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/Falls Church (RT-AFF), our mission is simple but powerful: help neighbors live in safe, healthy homes. Through our 2025 contract with Fairfax County’s Department of Housing and Community Development, we provided critical home repairs and accessibility modifications that allow low-income homeowners—especially older adults and residents with disabilities—to remain safely in the homes they love.
Our Year One Contract Report highlights the impact of this work across Fairfax County. In 2025, RT-AFF completed a total of 1,070 repairs for 113 low-income homeowners, addressing health and safety hazards and helping residents remain independent and secure in their homes.
The repairs completed ranged from relatively small but life-changing improvements—such as grab bars, improved lighting, and smoke alarms—to larger projects like wheelchair ramps, appliance replacements, and even roof and HVAC system replacements.
Each repair is part of a comprehensive assessment designed to improve safety, accessibility, and overall housing stability.
The homeowners served reflect the populations most vulnerable to housing-related risks. Many are older adults, people living with disabilities, and households with limited incomes who face barriers to maintaining their homes on their own.
By addressing safety hazards and accessibility needs, these repairs help residents remain in place and reduce the risk of injury, displacement, or housing instability.
This work is made possible through the dedication of volunteers, partners, and supporters who contribute thousands of hours and resources each year. Together, they help ensure that critical repairs reach those who need them most.
We invite you to explore the Year One Contract Report to learn more about the repairs completed, the households served, and the community partnerships that make this work possible.
