CITY OF ALEXANDRIA PARTNERS WITH REBUILDING TOGETHER ALEXANDRIA
ON FREE WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS

The City of Alexandria has partnered with Rebuilding Together Alexandria, a leading volunteer community organization, to implement a new free weatherization program for low-income homeowners to help City residents increase home comfort and lower heating fuel bills this winter.

Founded in 1986, Rebuilding Together Alexandria is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization supported by voluntary contributions of time and money that brings together dedicated volunteers from all ages, faiths and walks of life to rehabilitate the houses of low-income homeowners so they may continue to live in warmth, safety and independence.

For additional information on the weatherization program or to apply for assistance, call the Alexandria Department of Human Services, Office of Community Services at 703-838-0971.
