Ask the Experts: Housing Options

[Guest guest]

Please join me in welcoming Graham to IPADDUnite. was contacted by

one of our IPADD members, Beth Owens, who knows from her days at the

Illinois MENTOR organization. currently serves as Recruitment Manager for

IL MENTOR, and has graciously joined today willing to answer any questions we

may have about Adult Care or Host Home housing options in Illinois.

Thank you both!

We also have other IPADD members, such as andra Conroy from L'Arche

organization, who work with innovative housing solutions as well. Please feel

free to jump in at any time. We welcome the information.

So to start, , what can you tell us about IL MENTOR? My questions have to

do with --

1. Your model

2. Clients served in what parts of the state?

3. Where does the money come from? OR How do clients pay for the services?

We'll keep this conversation going for as long as there are questions from the

group. So join in, everyone, we're talking about innovative housing today

against the backdrop of stymied institutional closings. What better time to

talk about innovation?????
