Rebuilding Together Montgomery County (RTMC) seeks a visionary leader who is passionate about developing creative, sustainable strategies to preserve affordable homeownership and promote neighborhood revitalization. RTMC fulfills its mission by assisting the most vulnerable Montgomery County homeowners to maintain their most precious asset -- their homes.

 About the Organization: The mission of RTMC is Repairing Homes, Revitalizing Communities, Rebuilding Lives. We envision a Montgomery County with safe homes and communities for everyone. As a member of the national Rebuilding Together network, RTMC was founded in 1990 with an aim to mitigate the risk of foreclosure, displacement, and chronic substandard living conditions for Montgomery County, Maryland’s most vulnerable homeowners, including seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, families with children, and members of marginalized communities. RTMC provides critical home repairs, accessibility modifications, energy efficiency upgrades, and links to community resources at no cost to income-qualifying homeowners. RTMC carries out its mission through two core programs: 1) the Safe and Healthy Homes Program – the foundation of RTMC’s home repair work – which addresses significant safety and health hazards through large- and small-scale repairs for 180 homes annually, and 2) the Community Revitalization Program, through which RTMC provides repairs/accessibility modifications to several nonprofit organizations annually. To date, RTMC has served 3,000 homeowners and galvanized more than 50,000 community volunteers in our neighbor-helping-neighbor approach.

 Led by an engaged Board of Directors, RTMC has an annual budget of approximately $2M and an outstanding staff. For more information about RTMC, please visit our website at www.rebuildingtogethermc.org.
