“My kids love this house — they go to school, their friends come over — we’re living like everyone else.” ― Debbie [read her story]
In our residences, members learn to cook, stay clean and healthy, budget their money, take their medications, clean the house, and get along with other people. A case worker visits residents to provide “daily living” support and skills coaching. In our group homes, a house manager spends evenings and nights, always there to lend a helping hand.
The New Foundation Center has supported shared houses (group homes) in Glencoe, Morton Grove, Skokie, and Wilmette, as well as supported apartments for members in Evanston, Skokie, and Wilmette. About half of our housing is given to homeless people. Each home meets local zoning regulations and is inspected regularly by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Bureau of Accreditation, Licensure, and Certification.
