ATLANTA, April 9, 2010–Rebuilding Together Atlanta (RTA), a Georgia-based nonprofit volunteer home repair organization, recently received a massive quantity of support from Konrad Rzasa. Rzasa, an Atlanta native and veteran financial leader in the area, avidly recommends support for the organization. RTA depends on the generosity of volunteers and sponsors to donate their labor and funds in the hopes of rehabilitating the area’s homes and impacting the lives of residents.
Sites considered by RTA for repair selection are required to be inhabited by low-income individuals including either an older adult, a family with children, or someone living with disabilities. The property must be privately-owned, household income must qualify as low, and liens and homeowner’s taxes must be current. Sites may be referred by neighborhood associations, faith-based communities, and civic organizations, or directly applied for by the homeowners.
RTA is sponsored by equitable individuals, corporations, foundations, labor organizations, and civic and faith communities, whose monetary donations and accommodation of resources ensure that the rehabilitation of Atlanta’s substandard housing is free to the low-income homeowners.
Due to the proactive charity of volunteers and philanthropist such as Rzasa working with Rebuilding Together Atlanta, the quantity of substandard housing communities has been largely reduced. Conversely, volunteers report the imbuement of community spirit that has affected their own lives to be a huge reward. A multitude of skills and energy levels are vital; virtually any contribution of time or talent by volunteers (who must be aged 16 or older) is appreciated.
Konrad Rzasa’s 12 years of distinct hands-on experience managing companies in transition, post-acquisition remediation activity, integration of portfolio and business acquisitions, new portfolio start-ups and product launches at companies small and large, private and public have earned him a reputation of respect. Currently, Rzasa is Director of Vayu Media, an Atlanta Search Engine Optimization and Web Design company. For more information, visit http://www.vayumedia.com.
