Live in supportive housing designed around your needs. Our group homes offer a safe, comfortable environment where individuals can grow their independence while receiving the support they need.
We have 40 Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) homes that house over 200 residents across Illinois Each of our homes are adapted and personalized to meet each resident’s lifestyle, as well as their physical and emotional needs. Each home is shared among 2-8 peers who share responsibility for all activities within their home.
Our trained staff teach and guide each person to be as independent as possible, learning new skills in self-care, cooking, cleaning, money management and how to be a good citizen.
Many people with I/DD dream of having their own home. Our Intermittent Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILAs) make that dream a reality for adults with mild developmental disabilities. Residents live independently in a home or apartment, sometimes with one or more roommates. Just like CILAs, services are customized to each person’s needs.
Our experienced staff will provide as-needed training and assistance with all aspects of living independently: including cooking and cleaning skills, transportation, medical needs, making and keeping appointments, grocery shopping, paying bills, and more.
You case manager will provide 3 service facilitation hours a month to monitor the effectiveness of your plan and make any necessary adjustments to keep your loved one on their path to independence.
“I genuinely appreciate the hard work and dedication of the staff at my house. They are truly awesome, and their support has made a positive impact on my daily life. We participate in a variety of activities together, and I cherish the opportunities we have to interact with and contribute to our own community.
I have been making tremendous strides in acclimating to my new home, despite the occasional pangs of unease that accompany such significant changes. I feel calm and content in my home, and I cannot imagine a more ideal living situation than the one I currently enjoy.”

“I like living here. I like being with my staff and housemates. I like being able to go out to the community and go shopping. And I like that I’ve been able to get a job and make money thanks to CTF.
Living here has made me more independent. I like where I live, and I feel good about the choice I made to live at CTF.”
