Replacement CILAs

As part of a quality improvement initiative, Community Services Foundation (CSF) assisted CTF in starting a CILA replacement program. CILA (community integrated living arrangement) homes offer the opportunity for adults with developmental disabilities to live in residential neighborhoods. They are approved by the Illinois Department of Human Services and offer 24 hours supervision by trained staff. 

CSF purchased two replacement homes and completed the necessary renovations for the CTF residential program. One of the houses is located in Lincoln, a central Illinois community, and replaces an existing home in nearby Atlanta. The new house is located near two other CILAs in Lincoln and closer to the day program that the residents attend, which saves CTF transportation costs. The home was completely refurbished and now provides residence to eight people.

The second home purchased by CSF is located in Country Club Hills and replaces a home in Park Forest. The house is located closer to day programs and other community amenities. It offers space for the five residents who relocated from a Park Forest CILA and the opportunity to expand in the future. It has a large backyard, two living spaces, and an open floor plan. The Foundation completely renovated the home, installing new flooring and making other improvements. 

When the residential real estate market improves, CSF plans on selling the two houses that were replaced.

2011 Annual Review

Community Services Foundation (CSF) filed consolidated June 30, 2011, financial reports with Charleston Transitional Facility (CTF) and Southwest Community Services (SCS). Each agency will continue to have its own budget and operate independently. However, reporting financial information in this manner is required by law because the Foundation is the sole member of CTF and SCS. All three organizations have overlapping board members and work together so that each agency has the assistance it needs to provide the highest quality services to the people they serve.  

A few of CSF’s accomplishments from the July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 fiscal year are featured below:
  • CSF sponsored the Making A Difference . . . Making A Match program to encourage donations on behalf of CTF and SCS. The program matched the donations of individuals and businesses and raised $26,070 for CTF and SCS. Since its inception in 2004 through June 30, 2011, the matching program raised a total of $157,182 for CTF and SCS. 
  • The newsletter, Foundation Focus, continued its mission of educating readers about matters relating to CSF and the organizations it funds, CTF and SCS.
  • CSF made below-market interest rate loans available to CTF and SCS.
  • CSF made contributions to CTF and SCS totaling $550,989. 
  • Highlights from the contributions include:
  • CSF was the primary sponsor of CTF’s Annual Golf Outing. The proceeds from this event benefit CTF’s Individual Assistance Fund. These funds are used to purchase equipment or enrichment experiences that improve the lives of people receiving services at CTF.
  • Funding was provided for the annual CTF resident vacation.
  • CSF was the primary sponsor of SCS’s Annual Golf Outing and Bowl-A-Thon events.
  • CSF provided funding for the SCS development office.
  • CSF provided funding for the SCS curriculum development office.
  • CSF provided funding for the formation of the TAP (talents, abilities, possibilities) program.
