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.
