In the spirit of volunteerism and community partnership, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago improves the homes and neighborhoods of elderly, disabled and low-income residents so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety and comfort. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago was founded to improve the declining housing stock of homeowners in Chicago and Cook County. We serve existing homeowners, who, due to financial or physical limitations, have been unable to maintain their homes. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago was formed in 1991 as an affiliate of the national organization, Rebuilding Together. Since then, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago has partnered with over 600 sponsors to keep homeowners living in warmth, safety and independence. To date we have repaired over 1,600 homes and 200 nonprofit facilities in partnership with communities, corporations, trade unions, and civic groups. Our work is performed by an all-volunteer labor force, enabling us to provide repair services at no cost to our clients. In addition to physical improvements, we provide personal contact, increased understanding, and an opportunity to overcome socio-economic stereotypes. We have found that our efforts often act as a catalyst for additional neighborhood improvements. How We Are Unique Meet Basic Needs & Serve the Underserved: Our programs allow clients to use their limited budget for basic essentials like food and medication, rather than costly home repairs. We do not require sweat equity and never charge for our services. Holistic Approach: We address the needs of each home and its occupants, with a focus on health and safety. Exceptional Business Model: Every $1 we receive turns into $3.25 worth of services to residents in low-income neighborhoods-- resulting in $2 million in community reinvestment every year. We offer opportunities for volunteers to make a real difference in the community & meet people from all walks of life.

Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation (UNPHC), founded in 1967, is a Utah non-profit developer of multi-family affordable housing. Staffed by volunteers until 1993, there are now almost 50 employees. UNPHC has 40 properties providing more than 1,800 units to over 2,000 individuals. In addition, UNPHC provides the property management to several of these projects, as well as technical assistance to other non profit organizations and communities wanting to develop their own affordable housing. Those we serve are low and very low income, making less than 50% of the area median income. The majority of properties serve seniors 62 and older, but UNPHC also serves special needs populations such as physically disabled, families, chronically mentally ill, homeless, families and individuals in transition from homelessness, and HIV/AIDS persons. We own 20 single-family rent-to-own homes, and a 24-unit town home project for first-time home buyers. The most basic human needs are shelter and food. If those needs are not met, individuals are excluded from other significant human interactions: employment, parenting, and social contributions. UNPHC is committed to the belief that the long-term solution to homelessness is safe, decent, and affordable housing.
