Welcome to Raleigh Village East (RVE), a non-profit organization designed to help adults who want to “age in place” and remain in their homes as they age. If you are 62 years or older and need home repairs or modifications, please click on the link above to see the eligibility guidelines or call us at 919-975-7200.
In the New Year, we can help you possibly reduce your property taxes.

Raleigh Village East invites neighbors who live within our RVE neighborhoods to be “Villagers”: those who need help, those who might provide help, and those who generously support RVE through donations. In this way, our senior Villagers will gain both the practical means and confidence to live their lives to the fullest in the homes and communities they love, and all who support them will be part of a multi-generational network fostering social engagement, pursuing shared interests, and just having fun.

Today, Raleigh Village East Villagers come from neighborhoods including:

Capitol Heights
Capital Park
Chavis Park
Cotton Mill
Idlewild
Madonna Acres
Mordecai
East Mordecai
Oakdale
Oakwood
Pilot Mill
South Park

Aging brings inevitable changes that may require different levels of support from time to time, and aging alone can pose problems. Raleigh Village East offers an alternative to leaving your home and community through its network of neighbors, volunteers and service providers. Our goal is that by working together we can stay independent as long as possible.

Message From Our CEO

Dear Villagers,

Happy Fall. It’s been an especially busy one for us implementing a city contract to repair
and modify Senior housing to allow homeowners to age in place more safely and easily.

I never envisioned we would be this involved with helping Villagers maintain and adapt
their homes, and when I did consider it, I thought grab bars and potty rails. We do a lot
of that along with emergency repairs and more large-scale modifications.

While we all know that gentrification is an ongoing threat to Raleigh Seniors, but the
details of what it takes to keep someone in a generational homestead can be daunting.

We have helped dozens of people apply for the Healthy Homes Program and have
numerous ongoing construction projects in partnership with Hope Renovations. Let us
know if you or someone else may qualify. We would love to have you as a Volunteer
with the program also.

In the New Year, Seniors may apply to have their dreaded property taxes reduced, and
we’ll be involved there as well with some marvelous partners.

We have a lot of joy along the way and continue to feed and transport people. Come
and join us as a Villager, if you want to volunteer or donate, or if we may be of service to
you or a family member, friend or neighbor.

Best,
Deborah
