Housing. Stability. Systems That Work.
Community Rebuilders is a nationally recognized, mission-driven housing organization that helps individuals, families, and Veterans secure and sustain stable housing. For more than 30 years, we have been at the forefront of designing, delivering, and scaling housing solutions that truly work—solutions grounded in dignity, evidence, partnership, and real results.
We believe housing is the foundation that makes everything else possible: safety, connection, income, health, progress, and long-term stability. Our work is simple in principle and sophisticated in execution: remove barriers, strengthen pathways, and help people move into housing faster with the support they need to stay housed.
Every day, our team works across the region—on the street, in homes, in systems, and behind the scenes—to make housing access clearer, faster, and more supportive for thousands of people each year.
What Distinguishes Community Rebuilders
We Deliver Results That Matter
Community Rebuilders consistently achieves some of the strongest housing outcomes in the region, helping hundreds of households secure stable housing each year with retention rates above 90%. Our work supports Veterans, vulnerable adults, families with children, survivors of violence, and individuals experiencing long-term or unsheltered homelessness.
We Build Better Systems, Not Just Better Programs
We don’t only participate in the housing system—we redesign it.
CHC 1.0 transformed access to housing in Kent County, and CHC 2.0 is the first community-built platform of its kind a complete, responsive Coordinated Entry system designed by providers, practitioners, and people with lived experience. With a planned launch in December of 2025 we are excited to share its impact on system level outcomes throughout 2026.
We Solve Problems Others Call “Impossible”
From stabilizing unsheltered individuals through Geographically Targeted Housing Outreach (GTHO), to pioneering Veteran services in SSVF and VRS, to rehousing people quickly after major crises, Community Rebuilders turns challenges into solutions.

Our Approach
Housing-Centered. Person-Led. Outcome-Focused.
Our approach reflects the evolving national understanding of what works in housing—and the values we’ve held for decades:
1.Housing Fast, Housing That Lasts
Housing is the starting point for recovery, income growth, and stability—not the end point. It is the stepping stone to increased income, increased well being, and improved community engagement.
2. Person-Led Navigation
People choose their goals.
We help them move through the housing system with clarity, support, and agency.
3. Strengths-Based Support
We see resilience, capability, and potential in every person we meet.
4. Trauma-Informed Engagement
Safety and dignity come first, always.
5. Outcome-Oriented Stabilization
After move-in, we focus on the practical skills, routines, and connections that support long-term stability.
6. Community-Integrated Partnerships
We collaborate with experts in employment, income, health, safety, and community services—because housing stability strengthens all these outcomes, but no single agency does it all.
7. Data, Accountability & Improvement
We prioritize accuracy, transparency, and learning to strengthen both our programs and the broader housing system.
