Enhancing the lives of those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and their families by creating a housing footprint. 


We are currently working with the City of Naperville, Gorman & Company, and Ray Graham Association to build housing for senior citizens and those with IDD. Check our News section for the latest.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR CHILDREN 

TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TEENS TO ADULTS?


WE NEED TO CREATE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING CLOSE TO HOME

  • IT MUST BE AFFORDABLE
  • LEVELS OF SUPPORT OF SERVICES WILL BE NEEDED
  • ASSIST WITH SELF SUFFICIENCY TO ALLOW FOR GROWTH AND INDEPENDENCE

IT IS NOT EASY

PARENTS OR GUARDIANS WILL NOT BE AROUND FOREVER...

Where will our adults live when we are no longer here?

How do we ensure they are safe?

GOVERNMENT AND ZONING REGULATIONS...

We must educate our neighbors and politicians.  

FINANCIAL BARRIERS...

Those with disabilities have limited Income.

LACK OF OPTIONS...

Supportive community housing does not exist In this area for this growing population. They want to stay close to where they grew up.  It is familiar and It Is Important that they live near family and friends.
