H.O.M.E. (Housing Opportunities & Maintenance for the Elderly)

MISSION STATEMENT Committed to improving the quality of life for Chicago’s low-income elderly, Housing Opportunities and Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping seniors remain independent and part of their community by offering intergenerational living and by providing a variety of housing support services. H.O.M.E. helps low-income seniors meet the basic needs that sustain their independence and keep them connected to their communities. Our services include: • An upkeep and repair program to ensure seniors enjoy healthy and safe living conditions. • A shopping bus assists seniors with transport to grocery stores where they have access to food and supplies that are essential to their well-being. • An intergenerational housing program in three affordable buildings where seniors live with families and young adults in private apartments or, for residents who need some assistance, Good Life Senior Residences. • A moving program offers seniors support and assistance through one of life’s most stressful events—relocating from one home to another. Volunteer Throughout the year, H.O.M.E. welcomes volunteers for seasonal and ongoing projects as well as one-time volunteer opportunities.
