facilities to the Springfield community.<br />
The Haven House Project is created to provide both single women and women with<br />

crisis-dominated lives to lives focused on self-determination and peace. Through this<br />
transitional housing program, <strong>Abundant</strong> <strong>Faith</strong> Supportive Services (AFSS) offers<br />
supportive services (directly or through referrals) like counseling, educational programs,<br />
quality child care, job training, that assist women in removing barriers that hinder them<br />

HOUSING<br />
Description: To improve the lives of individuals and to strengthen communities,<br />
Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) offers housing opportunities for persons 62<br />
years of age or older, and for individuals who are disabled. The majority of buildings<br />
owned and/or managed by LSSI are newly designed and provide comfortable, safe and<br />
affordable living in a community environment. Each building is unique and has its own<br />
niche in the community where it is located. LSSI currently has 20 affordable housing<br />
developments statewide.<br />
Fees: Rent is generally based on 30 percent of a resident’s monthly income (Social<br />
Security, SSI, pension-wages/salary, interest on assets, etc.). However, a resident’s<br />
expenses (health insurance costs, pharmacy bills and medical expenses) are also taken<br />
into consideration when determining rental fees.<br />

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING<br />
Description: Through its Transitional Living Program in Rockford, Lutheran Social<br />
Services of Illinois (LSSI) provides supportive and supervised housing for adolescents<br />
between the ages of 18 and 21 who have complex emotional, mental and behavioral<br />
issues. The program serves clients from northern Illinois communities who are “aging<br />
out” of the child welfare system.<br />
The program, which began in June 2007, provides services and teaches life skills to<br />
young adults to assist them in integrating into the community. The program also assists<br />
them in developing coping strategies and a career plan.<br />
The program is located in a large home in Rockford that can house six youth, who are<br />
supervised by on-site staff. In the future, the program will open a second location that will<br />
provide apartment-like housing, as well as on-site staff supervision. As youth become<br />
more self-sufficient, the program will help them find their own living arrangements and<br />
will provide supportive case management services for them to ensure successful<br />
48<br />

integration in to their communities.<br />

the residents realize what caused them to become homeless. Other groups offered are:<br />
anger management, parenting, assertiveness training, decision making, nutrition and<br />
more. The home consists of a community kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry<br />
facilities, and a resource room that contains four Internet access computers used for job<br />
searches and research. There is a men’s dorm that can house up to four single men.<br />
Single women and families have private rooms in the upstairs area. We also have a<br />

Transitional Living Program (TLP)<br />
Description: The TLP is for homeless McLean County youth (including homeless youth<br />
who are pregnant or parenting) ages 18-21 who are ready to take on the responsibilities of<br />
learning and using independent living skills. We provide stable and safe housing while<br />
youth learn skills and internalize habits that can end chronic homelessness; reintegrate<br />
youth in to the community; and help youth find and maintain long-term jobs at livable<br />
wages. A maximum of 10 youth can be housed by the program, and additional spaces are<br />
available in the weekly Life Skills classes. Through the 18-month program, youth take on<br />
increasing responsibilities for monthly rent, must maintain employment, must attend Life<br />
Skills, and work with their caseworker to connect to other community services.<br />
Fees: No fee.<br />
Referral Procedures: Must complete an application in person at the Project Oz office. An<br />
Advisory Board will review all applications for placement in available housing, on the<br />
waiting list, or transfer to Street Outreach services.<br />
Youth Initiative Program<br />
Description: 1) 24-hour crisis intervention services to runaway youth ages 10-17 and<br />
their families. Host Homes Program allows placement of youth for 1-2 nights as needed.<br />
Entry to placement is through Oz staff only.<br />
2) Family counseling using "Choice Theory/Reality Therapy." Project Oz is certified by the<br />
Glasser Institute to use this program.<br />
3) Individual counseling services available in community or school settings to youth 10-17<br />
years of age.<br />
Area Served: McLean and Livingston counties.<br />
Fees: No fee.<br />
Referral Procedures: Primarily through law enforcement, parents, schools, and<br />
self-referral.<br />
Safe Place<br />
Description: In addition to Project Oz, all Bloomington and Normal Fire Stations are Safe<br />
Places. Jesus House is also a Safe Place in Bloomington (located at 724 W. Washington<br />
Street).<br />
How Safe Place Works:<br />
64<br />
Project Oz<br />
1) A youth in crisis walks into a designated Safe Place location (identified by a Safe Place<br />
sign or decal) and tells the first available employee that they need Safe Place help.<br />
2) The employee will find a quiet, comfortable place for the youth to wait while they call<br />
the local Safe Place contact.<br />
3) The Safe Place contact will call the location back to identify the volunteer or staff<br />
member who will come to meet the young person at the location.<br />
4) Ideally, within 20-30 minutes, the Safe Place volunteer or staff member will arrive to talk<br />
with the youth and transport him or her to the agency for counseling, support, a place to<br />
stay or other resources.<br />
5) Once at the agency, counselors meet with the youth and provide support, resources<br />
and help. They make sure the youth and their families receive the help and professional<br />
referrals they need. (Family members or guardians are called to let them know that their<br />
youth is safe.) The agency helps the youth and the family through a difficult time or crisis<br />
situation through counseling and support services.<br />
Most young people hear about Safe Place during school presentations. Each student is<br />
presented with a Safe Place information card. This card has the local Safe Place phone<br />
number and tells them that Safe Place help is free and confidential. For more details on<br />
the national initiative, go to www.nationalsafeplace.org.<br />
Additional Information: Project Oz, in collaboration with the Bloomington Fire<br />
Department, Normal Fire Department and Jesus Coffeehouse, joins many youth service<br />
agencies across the nation in offering a Safe Place Program to their community. Safe<br />
Place provides young people access to immediate help and safety if they find themselves<br />
in a crisis. Young people in our community can access a Project Oz Crisis Worker 24/7 by<br />
walking into any Bloomington or Normal Fire Station or Jesus House and asking for Safe<br />
Place help. Project Oz will respond to youth at all Safe Place locations with crisis<br />
counseling and shelter services when necessary.<br />

Description: Transitional Housing is a temporary shelter for families who are homeless.<br />
Families who enroll in this program are provided with a variety of supportive services, live<br />

required to work with a caseworker to set goals for themselves and then work towards<br />
achieving and maintaining those goals. Families are required to participate in weekly<br />
workshops and various personal development activities. By the end of the family's stay in<br />

without any assistance.<br />

Project Safe Place offers youth in emergencies temporary refuge in businesses and public<br />

situation. Each "Safe Place" displays a large sign featuring a yellow and black<br />

the YSB sends a pre-assigned volunteer, trained to handle these types of situations, to the<br />
scene within 15 minutes. Once on the scene, the volunteer finds out what the problem is<br />
and acts accordingly. Parents are notified as soon as possible of the whereabouts of their<br />
child.<br />
