Get involved

Honest expectations
What we are not asking for yet
RRHARTS is not calling for general construction labor. Insurance, supervision, waivers and site rules have to be in place before anyone is invited to work on this property, and putting that in the right order is part of doing it properly.
Volunteer activity is being developed alongside site readiness. When specific opportunities open, they will be posted on the project updates page. In the meantime the most useful thing most people can do is tell us what they can offer, so it is on the list when the phase arrives.
The village concepts
Learn about the village vision
The Veterans Village, Family Village and Seniors / Accessible Village are future phases of the campus. They are not completed housing, and RRHARTS is not currently accepting applications or holding a waiting list.
If and when that changes, it will be announced publicly. Anything you share with RRHARTS now is a conversation, not an application, and it does not create a placement, a waitlist position, or a promise of housing.
Visiting
Please arrange a visit in advance
RRHARTS is a developing campus, not an open public park. Visits, volunteer activities, meetings and site access should be arranged in advance — for safety reasons as much as practical ones.
