Why The Quad Cities Needs Rebuilding Together
 Rebuilding
Together helps improve lives right now. We’re also one answer to the continuing
demand for affordable housing in the Quad Cities. Our repair programs revitalize
aging neighborhoods and maintain irreplaceable resources of affordable housing.
Consider that, while paying anything over 30 percent of income qualifies
a family as “cost-burdened,” some families pay more than half of their income
for housing.
Here’s a quick snapshot of the need for our services:
• More than 52 percent of households in Scott and Rock Island counties earn less than 80 percent of the median income and are considered low income.
• More than 21,000 Davenport homes are more than 40 years old.
• A windshield survey indicated that 5.4 percent of Davenport homes were in poor condition.
• 23.4 percent of Scott County homeowners may be disabled
• 9 percent of Scott County households are owned by seniors over age 65
