"Landlords need tenants, refugees need homes"

We have already save refugees more than 10 months' worth of rent, and we need your backing to ramp that up! www.gofundme.com/f/support-rehome

Hear ReHome's origin story as told in a feature on the "Trust the Process" podcast, which is produced by our friends at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.

ReHome was one of 22 start-up teams in the Summer 2023 cohort of MIT delta v, which is MIT's capstone entrepreneurship accelerator. We're still working hard more than a year later to build on the amazing investment of expertise and financial backing from MIT delta v!

Call to action: Anyone can join the 40+ individuals who have already contributed direct support to ReHome's life-changing work through our GoFundMe! www.gofundme.com/f/support-rehome
