About

Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago helps our neighbors repair their homes

Our vision is safe homes and communities for everyone.

The Rebuilding Together North Suburban Chicago network is comprised of partners, donors, volunteers, and contractors who make our work possible. The free home repair and remodeling we perform are necessities that no homeowner should live without, often giving much-needed boosts to our neighbors who have fallen on hard times. Without our free services, many residents would suffer serious injuries or even be forced to sell their homes.
