Serving Fremont and the Surrounding Area in Nebraska.
Imagine waking up on a winter morning to find snow in your living room. For “Letty” and others in our community, this isn’t just a story—it’s reality. Every day, people are struggling with unsafe, unlivable homes they can’t afford to repair. With your support, we can make homes safe and healthy for those in need.
We're almost done fixing up the house at 1535 N. Platte Ave. We bought it in December
and have completely renovated it. In about a month, it will be ready for sale.
Almost everything in the house is brand new—roof, driveway, plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more.
We plan to sell the house to a first-time homebuyer. If you're interested, please fill out
the application form below. You can check out pictures of the house on this website or
on our Facebook page, Rebuilding Together Platte Valley East. Applications can be submitted
in the office at 445 E 1st Street, Fremont or via email at kirk@rebuildingtogetherpve.org
If we get more than one application, an independent committee will review them and decide
who gets to buy the house. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact
Kirk Brown, Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Platte Valley East, at kirk@rebuildingtogetherpve.org or 402-512-9548.

At Rebuilding Together, we work hard every day to keep our most vulnerable citizens safe and healthy in their homes. Our clients must both own and reside in the home for which they are seeking assistance, and must commit to remaining in their home. All clients must meet our income guidelines and provide the appropriate documentation. Currently, we serve resident homeowners in Dodge and surrounding counties in Nebraska.
The following video tells a homeowner's story.
Safe and healthy housing protects vulnerable individuals and families from harmful exposures to a variety of health and safety hazards. It makes important contributions to health by reducing exposure to allergens, chemicals, molds, and moisture. Safe housing helps to prevent falls, fires, and other home accidents. Safe and healthy housing promotes a sense of security and control and has many economic benefits to neighborhoods and communities.
Our accessibility ramp program allows our clients to enter and exit their homes safely. Ramps improve mental and physical health by providing a sense of independence, the ability to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, and the opportunity to visit friends and neighbors. Ramps are also a great way to promote volunteerism and a sense of community pride as volunteers help their neighbors lead more independent and enjoyable life. Rebuilding Together installs and maintains the ramp at the homes of qualified individuals and then removes the ramp when no longer needed for use at another home.
Critical home repairs may include:
* Roof replacement or repair.
* Replacement of weak or unsafe floors and porches.
* Bathroom and kitchen repairs that enhance safety accessibility.
* Critical plumbing and electrical repairs.
* A host of other situations that may result in unsafe in their living conditions.
Critical home repairs are assessed by utilizing a 25-point health and safety checklist developed in partnership between Rebuilding Together and the National Center for Safe and Healthy Housing and focuses on 8 key factors shown below.
