About

Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago provides critical home repairs

Our vision is safe homes and communities for everyone.

We are neighbors helping neighbors. Each year, Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago’s network of partners, donors, volunteers, and contractors provides skilled home repairs at no cost to low-income homeowners in more than 60 homes. We listen to our neighbors to understand their essential repair needs and improve their safety and well-being, often providing individuals and families with lasting stability.

Home repairs change lives

Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago’s work goes beyond essential home repairs. A repaired window protects a family from harsh weather. A grab bar helps an older adult remain safe at home. A new stove makes home-cooked meals possible. Every repair supports safety, stability, and the chance for people to thrive.

Helping older adults stay independent

For many older adults, everyday features like stairs, bathtubs, and entryways can become serious hazards. Many cannot afford the modifications that would help them remain in the homes they love. Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago provides repairs like railings and ramps that improve safety and preserve independence.

Our work preserves affordable housing by transforming lives through essential repairs and accessibility modifications

Most of the neighbors we serve are referred by social service agencies and municipalities on behalf of residents who cannot afford essential home repairs. We provide these repairs at no cost to low-income homeowners. Those we serve include older adults, people with disabilities, families with children, and veterans. Each year, we work in up to 18 communities across Chicago’s northeast suburbs, strengthening households, neighborhoods, and affordable housing.

We create homes where children can thrive

A child’s home should be a place of safety, not stress. But for many families, broken windows, faulty wiring, and unsafe plumbing create daily risks. By making homes safer, Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago helps create the stable environment children need to grow, learn, and thrive. Safe housing is not just shelter; it is a foundation for success.

We honor and support our veterans

No veteran should return from service only to live in unsafe conditions. Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago provides critical home repairs that help veterans live more safely and independently. By adapting homes to meet their needs, this work honors their service and helps ensure they have a secure, dignified place to call home.
