History
Originally established in 1991 and previously founded as an affiliate of Christmas in April, and also formerly known as RT Central Ohio (Rebuilding Together Central Ohio), the organization has grown and evolved over the years. Founded on the concept of barn raising, Modcon Living believes that we can accomplish great things quickly when we come together as a community.
In 2004, we began providing year-round emergency home repair and safety modification services through our Safe at Home program.
In 2009, we assumed management of the community Tool Library lending program for Franklin County residents and began offering various Tool Library Memberships to empower homeowners and support DIY home repairs and modifications. This hugely popular program continues to grow and assists homeowners and community partners in sustaining homes, properties and community gardens.
In 2018, we began offering handyman services to anyone in need of assistance through our social enterprise, Mod Squad. Revenue generated through Mod Squad projects helps fund urgently needed home repairs for our Safe at Home clients.
