July Newsletter -

July Newsletter The Urban garden is truly a community endeavor. This summer Whole Foods and Ashby Lumber volunteered their time, money, and hard work. They were able to get the lot cleared, cleaned up, post holes dug, and are ready for fencing to be installed next month by Red Oak Realty. Terremoto is lending its e...

After a visit from our Samuel Merritt University Occupational Therapist and Student OTs, our team was able to assess and convert this bathroom to make it accessible to our neighbor. These fixes were a fraction of the cost of a bathroom remodel and maintain the beautiful tile work.

A great fence and great neighbors!

Rebuilding Together East Bay-North is honored to have been given the opportunity to assist such an important facility in for our community. Rebuilding Together is calling our community into action to make necessary repairs to the school to ensure another 40 fabulous years of cultured, informed, and skilled education for our future leaders.

We had a Victory!

With the help of loyal Rebuilders, RTEBN is partnering with the City of Richmond, to make a difference for our unhoused neighbors and give them the tools to find their homes. The City of Richmond received two grants totaling $10 million from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Clean California Local Grant Program.

The program provides funds to local and regional public agencies, transit agencies, tribal governments, and nonprofits to clean and beautify public spaces, including your local streets and roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, and transit centers. Rebuilding Together East Bay-North and Safe Organized Spaces Richmond will engage and uplift unhoused neighbors near the infrastructure projects through training and employment for trash clean-up as well as housing navigation and personal wellness services. Together we won a significant portion of the Caltrans grant to improve the Borman Park neighborhood of Richmond, including addressing a large encampment of unhoused individuals and families.

Amazing work with a wonderful team of volunteers in Richmond, CA! Water intrusion is no longer a problem for a multi-generational, Black, Woman-headed home! Big Thanks to Salal Credit Union for making important projects like these possible!

This weekend we welcomes out neighbors from Bayer Pharmaceuticals and community group Commotion West Berkeley to build a community garden in the heart of Horizon Transitional Villiage. Read this short but beautiful post about guiding principals of building commons in in Berkeley.

Building Common Ground with our Neighbors – Rebuilding Together East Bay-North Any place in which people assemble,indoors or outdoors, irrespective of the duration of its occupancy,can be considered a potential commons.

We need some volunteers to put together privacy partitions at the Horizon Village! We'll be having workdays 11-3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next 2-3 weeks.

On Friday, we had a great team of assemblers at the Horizon Village, who put together tables and cubicle walls. Well done, team! We're chipping away at all the work ahead of us to make this space feel as comfortable as possible.

Thanks, Nixxit Junk Removal, for helping us get materials for the Horizon Transitional Village!

A big thank you to these volunteers from Rebuilding Together East Bay-North for stopping by the Nixxit warehouse today to collect some donations.

We’ve been on the hunt the last several weeks for commercial items that can be repurposed for the organization’s Horizon project - a rehabed warehouse in turned transitional housing. This rehabed warehouse space will provide meals, workshops, housing, and other services to our most vulnerable neighbors.

Here’s a load full of cubicles going off to their new home. 🏡
