Older adults, adults with disabilities, and low-income seniors have another resource for repairing and modifying their homes in District Five thanks to County funding awarded to local non-profit Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley (RTSV). Proposed by Supervisor Simitian in 2024, RTSV will use the funding to provide repairs to qualifying homeowners in Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Saratoga, portions of San Jose and unincorporated communities in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Working with other area organizations, including rotary clubs, service groups and like-minded nonprofits, Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley rebuilds and renovates homes to meet the needs of the homeowner. This could include work such as installing safety railings, modifying living spaces, painting exteriors, and creating safe backyard pathways.
