91ÌÒÉ« Housing Opportunities

91ÌÒÉ« Permanent Supportive Housing buildings are for people with serious mental illnesses.

91ÌÒÉ« housing includes group homes and apartment buildings. In a group home, residents have their own bedrooms and share kitchens, bathrooms and common areas. In an apartment building, each resident has their own living space, bathroom and, usually, a kitchen. There are varying levels of supportive services provided to residents at different buildings. Most apartments are furnished with a bed, table, chair, and dresser.

91ÌÒÉ« housing includes residences in the city of Chicago, surrounding suburbs, Woodstock, IL and Kankakee, IL.
