Rebuilding Together East Bay-North will recruit a minimum of 100 volunteers. For an investment of $75,000, our work areas are as follows:

1. Healthy Futures -- Aging in Place: Using a minimum of 30 Senior Corps volunteers, to help both homeowners by modifying homes for seniors and people with disabilities. We may partner with other Rebuilding Together affiliates in Alameda County, which performs similar work, and can share skilled Senior Corps volunteer tradespeople. We will use Senior Corps volunteers to leverage our resources and skills and expand our services from homeowners, to income-qualified senior apartment dwellers to bring many of the same safety improvements to them as well. We would expand a portion of our services to cover those who fall through the programmatic cracks.

2. Capacity Building: We will use an additional 30 Senior Corps volunteers, by connecting them with other station partners, such as food banks, and food delivery services such as Meals on Wheels. We would also use these Senior volunteers to train and transfer knowledge to new volunteers.

3. Disaster Response Services: Using approximately 15 Senior Corps volunteers, we will coordinate with local hospitals to modify homes of people recovering from COVID-19, and install needed safety equipment.

4. Veterans and Military Families: By providing these similar services to veterans and people with disabilities, we expect to use 25 Senior Corps volunteers.

An additional 25 volunteers will be placed in non-focus areas.

The CNCS federal investment of $75,000 will be supplemented by $15,000 from the City of Emeryville General Fund, $10,000 from the Oakland A's, and other smaller donations totaling approximately $40,000.
