Overview:

Loyola University Chicago’s Center for Urban Research and Learning is conducting an evaluation of National Rebuilding Day, a one-day program organized by Rebuilding Together – Metro Chicago through which teams of volunteers complete home repair projects in the homes of low-income, disabled, and elderly residents of the metropolitan Chicago area. The evaluation will examine the sustainable impact of programming on Chicago communities and participant homeowners. In addition to these outcome objectives, the evaluation will include participant surveys with homeowners and volunteers that examine goals and expectations, satisfaction levels, and programming best practices. The evaluation results will inform future RTMC programming.
