RT*MC is part of a national nonprofit program which sponsors National Rebuilding Day across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every year we select a different Chicago neighborhood and south suburb in which to provide free home repair for elderly, disabled, or low income individuals.

In 2007, RT*MC:

• Renovated 72 houses in Englewood in Chicago and Markham, Illinois
• Repaired 12 community centers in the Chicagoland area
• Painted 321 rooms
• Replaced or repaired 97 floors
• Upgraded or repaired 843 electrical projects including light fixtures, outlets, motion lights & rewiring
• Completed 241 plumbing projects including faucet, sink, tub & toilet repair or replacement
• Replaced 167 windows and weather-proofed 180 windows
• Replaced or Re-hung 102 interior doors
• Completed 103 Home Modifications

The Need for Rebuilding Together:

• 46% of new homeowners have low and moderate income
• The home ownership rate of seniors is 80%
• 92% of retired people prefer to age in place
• Falls are the leading cause of death from injury to people over 65 years of age
• More than 1.45 million elderly households lack some of the basic elements of housing security, such as complete plumbing or a reliable source of heat
