Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $1.9 million spent. Repair Programs: Rebuilding Together North Central Floridas (RTNCF) home repair programs keep our neighbors safe and healthy in the homes and neighborhoods where theyve lived for years. The program focuses on critical and emergency repairs prioritized based on a 25-point health and safety checklist developed in partnership with the National Center for Healthy Housing. RTNCF completes repairs for local residents by combining the efforts of volunteers and subcontracted professionals to leverage skill, funding, and local resources to provide the most services to the highest possible number of neighbors in need. In 2025, RTNCF engaged 348 unique volunteers in eliminating 285 home health hazards. These efforts resulted in safer, healthier homes for 132 individuals in Alachua and Levy County through critical and emergency repair, affordable rental preservation, and accessibility modification projects.
  2. $224,168 spent. Energy Programs: The Corporation partners with a number of other local organizations to decrease energy and water consumption for our low-income neighbors who are most adversely affected by utility costs. This program operates under the name Community Weatherization Coalition (CWC), and was founded in 2008 by bringing together partners from across the community to empower local residents to take control of their energy and water consumption through behavioral changes, and simple low-cost energy retrofits. This program trains dozens of volunteers per year to spend hours in the homes of their neighbors making retrofits and coaching neighbors on how they can reduce energy and water consumption, and thereby save money. In 2025, CWC trained 43 volunteers to provide energy tune-up services that served a total of 230 local households.
