We need your input

Ensuring everyone has the opportunity to actively participate and be engaged

in community life is a core value for most of us. For individuals with a

variety of disabilities, community involvement can require additional

support. Of particular concern is the availability of high-quality

supported living options.

A group of interested community members, along with representatives of

Jewish Child and Family Services, Keshet and the Jewish Federation of

Metropolitan Chicago have been exploring options for the creation of

sustainable solutions to ensure people with intellectual/developmental

disabilities have viable housing and related support options available.

This population will be our initial focus, but our hope is to expand to

supported living options for people with physical disabilities and chronic

mental illness.

In order to better understand the scope of need in our community, as well as

assess potential interest in participating, the group has forwarded this

request to a variety of interested community members and stakeholders.

Please take just a couple of minutes to click on the link below and complete

a brief survey. Your input is valuable to the process and the group looks

forward to hearing from you.

Thanks very much for your interest and consideration. Please feel free to

forward this.
