Wells Fargo Awards $1.2 Million to Rebuilding Together to Rehab Aging Homes
Wells Fargo Foundation is donating $1.2 million in grants to Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit focused on repairing homes and revitalizing communities. The Wells Fargo Builds program involves employee volunteers repairing 75 homes in 46 communities for older adults, veterans, and others in need. This initiative addresses the rising home repair costs in America, which disproportionately affect low-income individuals.
The grant was announced during an event in Miami Gardens, Florida, where volunteers helped first-time homeowner Mable Henderson with home repairs. Miami HEAT legend Udonis Haslem joined Wells Fargo to support housing access and affordability in his hometown. Since 2010, Wells Fargo has donated over $19 million to Rebuilding Together, supporting rebuilding efforts across the country.

A recent study shows that home repair costs in America have increased significantly in the past few years, and low-income individuals were nearly twice as likely to need persistent repairs.
"Everyone should have access to a quality, affordable place to call home," said Darlene Goins, head of Philanthropy and Community Impact at Wells Fargo. "We're proud to support Rebuilding Together to help restore aging homes so more people can remain safely and independently in their homes and preserve their generational wealth."
