  • Multiple things are happening during this event including:

History of Homes of Hope

The dream of providing quality living to adults with intellectual disabilities in Central Illinois began in the early 1990s. Concerned parents wondering how their children would be cared for when they were unable to do so set the wheels in motion for the construction of our first home or Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA).

Since Then...

Our dream has grown and we now provide 22 adults the opportunity to assume responsibility for day-to-day living.

We serve each individual with compassion and love, allowing them to grow in dignity and independence.
