About the Program
Who Is Rebuilding Together Greater Florida?
Rebuilding Together Greater Florida is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 59-3664580, Florida charitable registration CH24010) focused on helping families stay safe and healthy in homes they already own. RTGFL funds and coordinates repairs for eligible homeowners, bringing together skilled contractors, volunteers and sponsors.
As an HVAC partner, Reliance Air contributes licensed labor and expertise on RTGFL-approved projects in our service area. In Florida's climate, working air conditioning is a health and safety issue, especially for older residents and people with medical conditions. That is why this community home repair HVAC work matters to our family-owned team.
