About Us

Housing Opportunities and Maintenance for the Elderly, Inc. (H.O.M.E.) helps Chicago’s low-income seniors to live independent and socially engaged lives. Founded in 1982, H.O.M.E. owns and manages three affordable intergenerational buildings where seniors choose between private apartments or, for a family-like setting, Good Life Senior Residences. In our buildings, families with children and young adults live alongside seniors. H.O.M.E. also helps low-income seniors in Chicago maintain their independence by providing a home upkeep and repair service, shopping bus, and moving assistance. H.O.M.E. welcomes volunteers both in its buildings and the community at large to provide weatherization, painting, cooking, seasonal work, and more for seniors.

Our caring senior-centered approach, emphasizing safety, trustworthiness, and patience, stands out in contrast to the social isolation endured by too many older adults. When low-income seniors live in stable, affordable housing with community support, they thrive. We believe that the human element is essential to our model. Serving seniors with warmth, connection, and joy is our particular expertise.
