RESOURCES FOR COld, UNITY LIVING
Resources for Community Living, formerly known as the' Shared
Housing for Special Populations program, was created in 1988 to
address the critical need for affordable housing for adults with
developmental disabilities (e.g. cerebral palsy, Downs Syndrome,
mental retardation, epilepsy, etc.).
This agency has developed over 25 affordable living arrangements
for individuals with disabilities through 3 types of housing.
Through shared housing, individuals with disabilities are matched
with community residents to share housing and expenses. This type
of housing offers many benefits to both the person with a
disability and the homeowner including affordability, security,
companionship, assistance with household chores, and extra income
for homeowners.
The second type of housing provided is individual apartments. For
those individuals who can afford to rent an apartment on their own,
Resources for Community Living will assist them in locating an
affordable unit in a safe, decent neighborhood.
Finally, Resources for Community Living may match individuals with
disabilities to live in shared housing arrangements together if
they choose to do so. Through this approach, Resources for
Community Living introduces compatible people with disabilities and
searches for an affordable unit for them to share.
For individuals with disabilities involved in all of these
arrangements, Resources for Community Living also provides
individualized support services designed to assist the individual
in learning skills necessary for living on his/her own. These
skills may include money management, cooking, laundry, using public
transportation or becoming involved in the community.
Because most participants have very low incomes, Resources for
Community Living provides a rent subsidy. This subsidy is limited
to $150 per month based on the individual's income. Rent subsidy
funds are raised entirely through donations. Resources for
Community Living has distributed over $35,000 in rent subsidies
since March 1990.
Resources for Community Living receives funding from the Department
of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, the Department of
Rehabilitation Services, Cook County Community Development Block
Grant and local municipalities. Donations are necessary to
continue agency operations as well as to maintain the rent subsidy
fund.

Community Living, please contact Valerie Jero at (708) 632-1554.
