Measuring our Impact

Annual Reports

For fifteen years, we have held one belief. Everyone deserves a safe and healthy home. We show up when a roof leaks, when a floor buckles, when a railing fails, and when a family begins to fear the place they once trusted.

The homes and communities in our annual reports held stories long before we arrived. Our work protects those stories. It keeps people where their lives unfolded and where their memories live. That has been our promise for fifteen years. We stay until it’s safe.

Thank you to the volunteers, partners, advocates, donors, staff, board members, and community champions who stand with us and stay with the families we serve.

Social Return on Investment (SROI) Report

Ecotone collaborated with Rebuilding Together on an SROI impact analysis, building upon previously conducted impact measurement, analysis and stakeholder surveying work, to monetize the overall social value of every dollar invested in Rebuilding Together.

Social return on investment (SROI) is a metric adapted from the traditional return on investment (ROI) and is used to measure social, environmental and economic gains that result from an investment. It captures a broader set of impacts given that it identifies those impacts beyond simply financial or business ones, often putting intangible concepts into a more tangible form, a dollar.

For every $1 invested by Rebuilding Together and its affiliates in each home, there is a projected $2.84 in social value generated through improved health, safety, independence, and cost savings.

The impact survey found the following:
