Selection process
There is no charge to the recipient for the renovation efforts that are completed by RTBCS volunteers.
An application does not guarantee your acceptance into the program. It just begins the process for consideration.
The Project Selection Committee decisions are based on: our mission, the number of applicants, the need of the homeowner or community center, our volunteer's ability to complete the required repairs, the number of sponsors adopting a project and the funding available for the project.
The amount and type of work completed on each site is different and is determined by the volunteer Project Manager. Please understand that we are not able to address all the repair needs that you would like to have done in your home.
