When a flyer first landed in Mary Fine’s hands, a homeowner in Smyrna, she almost didn’t believe it. “I didn’t think it was real,” Fine said. “Not only was it real, but it was wonderful.”
That flyer led her to Rebuilding Together Atlanta (RTA), a nonprofit transforming lives across the city by repairing homes, revitalizing neighborhoods, and rebuilding communities for those who need it most.
A Mission Built on Care and Community
RTA’s work focuses on critical home repairs for low-income seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. RTA is dedicated to helping homeowners age in place. As Executive Director April Cline explains, these are often the neighbors with the deepest roots in the community, what RTA calls “legacy homeowners,” many of whom have lived in the same house for 40 to 50 years.
Their organization’s services range widely, covering everything from roof replacements and structural repairs to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical upgrades, as well as flooring repairs and accessibility improvements.
And, RTA knows that collaboration is key. “The whole community comes together,” Cline said.
One example is LifeCycle, which donates building materials like flooring.
More Than Repairs: A Long-Term Impact
Supporting homeowners goes beyond fixing a leak or replacing a roof. It’s about creating safer, healthier living spaces and honoring people who have shaped their neighborhoods for decades.
Capturing the Work: Lucie Content Behind the Scenes
To share this story of service and transformation, Lucie Content joined RTA on site, with their mobile studio service, and filmed Mary’s home repair along with multiple interviews to capture the heart of the mission.
With professional cameras, lighting, and a mobile production team, Lucie Content documented every moment: the repairs, the partnerships, and the joy of a homeowner seeing her space renewed.
The result is a vivid video feature that celebrates what’s possible when a community invests in its own neighbors.
