We focus on seniors, persons with disabilities, veterans, and families.

Rebuilding Together Southwest Illinois is focused on ensuring neighbors who are in need are safe, warm, and dry. As economic situations continue to worsen, along with rapidly increasing costs of homeownership and healthcare, many people who are in need, disabled and senior families are forced to choose between daily necessities and much needed home modifications or repairs. Rebuilding Together Southwest Illinois is committed to rehabilitating the houses of low-income, elderly, and handicapped homeowners, so they can live independently in warmth and safety.

Statement of Inclusion

Rebuilding Together is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) as an organizational imperative. We believe that to achieve our goals, we must embrace a broad vision of success that builds on multiple perspectives as the means through which to learn, innovate and grow. We know that we will be most effective by creating a culture that values and leverages differences as an organizational strength as we partner with, and serve, diverse communities and residents. Our work affirms human dignity through our commitment to safe and healthy housing for all.

We are proud to be partnering with the Agency for Community Transit (ACT) to help provide safe egress to homes in the Madison County region.
