Happy Fourth of July! We’d like to extend hearty congratulations to member Marcus from our Nashville Center for recently passing the Illinois Constitution test!

Please join us in giving him a hand. #EnvisionProud #FourthofJuly #congratulations #educationgoals #adulteducation #successstory #peoplewithdisabilities #communitysupport

Bricks are being laid at the Envision Unlimited DreamHome, our ADA-compliant group home in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood for seniors with disabilities to age in place and continue living a life of choice, independence and inclusion! We’re thrilled to be on track to have residents move in later this year. Many thanks to the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Henry Bros. Co. and JLK Architects for their work so far! #EnvisionProud #EnvisionInAction #DreamHome #seniorswithdisabilities #communityliving #aginginplace #makingadifference #accessibleliving #seniorcare #disabilitysupport #homesweethome #seniorliving #bricklaying

Meet member Dahla from our Rose Center. She enrolled in classes with Literacy Chicago last summer and has since devoted 100+ hours to improving her reading and writing skills. Her goal is to work with children, and she has volunteered in a local library and other settings to gain more experience. On weekends, she also participates in walking and running activities with Peace Runners 773, a nonprofit that advocates for health and wellness in Chicago. We’re so proud of her growth. Way to go, Dahla! Keep up the great work! #EnvisionProud #unlimitedpotential #readingskills #writingskills #adulteducation #independence #healthandwellness #communityinvolvement #inspiringstories

We’re thrilled to share that we’re expanding our geographic and service reach to support more people in need in Central Illinois!

"We believe supportive housing extends far beyond just a place to live, particularly for people with disabilities and mental health challenges," says Mark McHugh, Envision Unlimited President and CEO.
