2021 Gerald Nissan Hole-in-One Winner!

 Enriching and enhancing the lives of special needs individuals and their families by creating a housing footprint. We are currently working with the city of Naperville and Gorman & Company to build housing for senior citizens and those with IDD. The plan includes approximately 72 apartments with 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms, and 25% of the apartments are for IDD. This complex will be located at 103rd St. and Route 59, Naperville, Il.

WHAT IS A SPECIAL PLACE?

Theater

A Special Place was created to give those with disabilities a place to make friends and have a great time. Theater not only gives them an outlet to express themselves, but also helps them develop self confidence and stage presence. Every year we can hear their voices a little louder and see their smiles are a little bigger. They are excited to come to practice and be with their friends.  This season, 2022/23 the play is "Aladdin" and the dinner performance will take place at Compass Church on March 3rd., 6:30pm

Saturday Night Hang Outs

      

Saturdays are always a great time to hang out and enjoy different activities together.

Some activities include New Year's Eve Parties, Super Bowl, St. Patrick's Day and much more.  


Each Summer we celebrate being together at our "Backyard Bash" where we share hot dogs and chips before the scavenger hunt and movie under the stars. Bring your stadium chairs and blankets!

Friendships & Volunteers

Saturday mornings are a great time to work out with friends.  Whether it is cardiovascular exercise,

Keeping Fit


A Saturday morning is a great time to work out at the park. Whether it is strength training, endurance training or Yoga, it is always more fun with friends and of course a great instructor who cares about us!

OUR SPECIAL NEEDS PARTICIPANTS ARE AGING

THEY HAVE TRANSITIONED FROM HIGH SCHOOL TEENS TO ADULTS IN THEIR 20'S

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

OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME

PARENTS ARE NOT LIVING FOREVER.....

WHERE WILL OUR ADULTS LIVE ONCE MOM AND DAD ARE NO LONGER HERE?

HOW DO WE INSURE 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'S FAMILIAR AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY LIVE NEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Saturday Night Hang outs

Great Friends

We get together about eight times a year and just do fun things together. Whether it's a theme of Halloween, New Year's Eve Party, Super Bowl party, we just enjoy being together and socializing.  


Fun Games

We have great laughs together challenging another team or sometimes as simple as playing a game like Bingo together.

Dance Parties!

Who doesn't enjoy a dance party!


We meet generally on a Saturday night from 6:30-8:30pm. 

The location is Compass Church, 

1551 East Hobson Road, Naperville, IL 60540
